Make sure your front panel connectors are all plugged in. Although it could be something a lot more in depth than that.

[Thunderjolt]

Have you checked if you put in the front panel connectors properly? One is a negative and the other is a positive. If they're the wrong way around nothing will happen.

[JanusBananus]

like others have already said, check that you have put the connectors in correctly. If that doesn't work maybe the power button on your case is broken?

[Wferr]

Yeah if you can start with jumping the connector it's either plugged into the wrong port or something is messed up with the wires/button

Your case probably came with like 5 individual little pins for the power reset hdd and etc. Just plug those in properly....

[Andrikos]

I did plug in the front panel connectors like the manual was showing.I plugged in the power connector the other way around too and nothing happened

[Missioncode]

Sounds like your button isnt working try setting your reset button as your power button.

Actually they don't matter for the power switch, as long as they're in the right spots they can be inverted. Reset switch included.

 

 

Do what Missioncode suggested and set the reset switch pins to the power pins.

Sounds like it's broken. I would check the wiring to see if there's anything obvious to fix... if not... RMA

[Missioncode]

Well if you are up to it you can go get another switch an replace the power switch.

Get a switch toes of elections have them

solder or tape it to the leds of the borken switch

put it back

or really just keep the reset switch I never use my reset switch

some cases (pun intended), on that connector there is a small little triangle barely visible. that should be the positive end. worst come to worst, you have to RMA it. But if the front connectors can be detach from the case, just RMA that one. no need to send the whole case. thats what i did with my corsair case.

You mean to send just the the connector that goes to the power button,or the whole front panel? I think i can detach the cables from the front panel

[Prophet of Entropy]

you don't really need a reset button, my case doesn't have one and I don't miss it. simply buying a new button would probably be easiest, you can use about any type of momentary switch.

the whole connectors (PCB,cables). Unless they require you to send the whole case which would be kinda dumb because you have a faulty switch,not case defect.

I would take a look at the wiring to the button but that is just me i hard to fix my front audio before it would work right as they left out a wire. I seem to only rma something if i don't think i can fix in a few minutes with what i have on hand.

[mgsstar]

Just check that the cable leading to the power button isn't disconnected or loose. If you cannot get the power button to work, I would RMA it. Make sure that you are plugging the POWER SW into the power pins on the motherboard.

As I said before,I did put the the power sw in the correct pins.I will check the cable with my dad when he has time because he might be able to reattach wires and stuff...Otherwise I will rma it or keep it without the reset button.

 

Thanks everyone for the answers.

It doesn't make a difference if you invert the power button, in only matters how you connect the LED's polarity.

 

 

 

 

If you have an ohm meter try measuring the power button connectors and press the button, it should beep or make the resistance drop to 0 ohm or something close.
