Support Article - PC Case Connections

Often also called Front Panel Connectors

Inside Your PC you will find several cables and connections

The connections to the Power Button and LED power light (Not to be confused with the coloured Fan lights of your case) of your computer are as follows

The motherboard connection looks like this, sometimes this might be upside down or sideways

The pins we are interested in are 2, 4, 6, & 8

or in the picture the right hand pins,

green with yellow cross, solid green, black with yellow cross, & solid black

And the actual connectors will look like this

The colour scheme  isn't standard & often these connectors are all plain black with white writing to distinguish between the the different connectors

However the actual naming/labelling scheme and the connectors usually are standardized so you should see POWERLED- POWERLED+ (sometimes these 2 individual cables are combined) and POWERSW

So on the connector

Green or Power LED+ goes on 2 or green with yellow cross

White or Power LED- goes on 4 or solid green

& Orange or PowerSW goes on 6 & 8 or Black with yellow cross & solid block

For the PowerSW it doesn't matter which way round it goes on, as its a simple  on/off switch

If you still cant turn the PC on using the power switch, please send us some close some up pictures of these connections so we can check the connections are correct.
