I'm having troubles installing a Vandal Switch (momentary) with LED. I have an Asus B550-I mb and I've attached a copy of the headers from the manual. I got the LED part ok but can't seem to get the power on. I've tried just about every combination between NC, NO and C with the mb's headers and the best I'm able to get when I press the power button is 2-3 seconds of power and then it shuts off. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yup, sounds like it's not actually a momentary one.

An alternate vandal switch will usually pop in or out slightly when activating, if it is you could double tap it to make it act like a momentary for testing.

 

You should be on Normally Open, 1 wire to C, 1 wire to NO on the switch, they both go to PWRBTN header, no polarity so doesn't matter which way.
