is there anything that can be done?

Im not sure what you mean, do you mean that your missing a pin that goes from the power button to the motherboard? Are you missing a pin on the motherboard header? Or what?

i'm talking about the pin on the motherboard where the power switch 2 pin connector goes. does that make more sense?

what so youre saying that theres only 1 pin there, all you have to do is somehow make a connection to the remenance of the 2nd pin, as long as it completes the circuit it will be fine......

Also, in future, try to phrase your questions better, its taken 5 posts to get to what you actually meant, lol

Are you sure your not reading the pin configeration wrong? ITs prabaaly a key and itsn't suppoded to be there. I thought i could not use my "reset" fo a long time because i was reading the motherboard manual wrong on the pin configerationss, I was counting them wrong then i took a look on what pin 1 2 9 and 10 were and relized i was reading them wrong.

you could be right.

on a computer i've been trying to fix the power switch stopped working, and after looking at it it appeared the pin wasn't there.. but maybe you're right....

Maybe if you posted a pic we could see if it's a key or a missing pin.

Either its broken or you've got the wrong pin in mind

Some mobos have their power leads spearated by a space (which is freaking annoying) If thats the case, break the jumper connector in two
