Problem with new case, not powering

VetteGuy31189 · 04-13-2008, 08:04 AM

Ok, I just bought a new case from frys, guy told me it should work. Well mostly everything fitted except, the front usb mount does not line up, and the power button is different too. But I think I got everything back together, and now I plugged it in and I get nothing no power at all, what can be my problem?

I plugged it in the right spot, but in my old power switch it was a 6 point plug in, now the switch is a 2 point plug in, and it fits in 2 out of the 6. maybe I have to keep trying to plug it in all the point to find out the right two points?

Yeah. I'd try that.

Be careful what you do there. Probably the 6 wire was 2 for LED, 2 for system power and 2 for soft reset. Look in your motherboard manual for the pin layout.
If you connect a switch across the LED pin out then it could prove disastrous.

Ok, I had to take out and use my original power supply and it turned right on. now I have to find out what 2 wires go to which pins. Then I am going to see if it works now.
