Try jumping it with a screwdriver to eliminate the possibility that the cases power button stopped working.

Maybe try actually doing it first. If youre struggling to find it refer to the manual on where the front IO pins are located, and then count the rows and columns of pins to where the negative and positive of the power pins are. You dont need to worry about the polarity, its basically a single short micro spark.

I only removed the power pin tho do I have to remove all front panel pins?

No, only the two pins the power button plug was going to matters for starting it. 

Also be sure you have the plug on the correct pins, should be the ones indicated for "Power".

BTW exactly what board are you using?

Solved, seems like psu was the problem, everything back to normal after replacing it.
