I am considering building a new desktop but in the meantime my desktop will not turn on ! However I have discovered that there are three sets of cables not plugged in to the Motherboard.
Brown and Black power feed, Black and Purple Reset switch and a Blue and Black LED power.
Thay have all come out of a socket on the mother board but I have no idea what goes where. I enclose images of cables and socket. Thanks for any help.

They're labeled on the bottom. If the LEDs aren't displaying correctly try flipping the connector/polarity. The buttons can be installed in either orientation.

Power SW goes to +PW-
Power LED goes to +PWR_LED-
Reset SW goes to -RES+
HDD LED would go to +HD-

Pretty straightforward.
 
Thanks that was straightforward. Now on pressing the power on button the LED's flash the fan and the fan in the PSU all twitch but the machine will not start. I tried the paper clip test on the PSU and it the PSU runs superbly. There is a new CMOS battery in it. The machine has been stored dry for a few months since last use. Any ideas gratefully received.? It seems like it is trying hard to start but seems to have some sort of "inertia" to overcome.
 
I worked through everything and decided to look at the USB ports. I found one that was shorting out!! Once I isolated the faulty USB it powered up nicely. I guess you have to go through everything to find such a fault. Thanks again for all the suggestions.
