(Ultima Vanquish" Intel Core i7 920 D0 2.66GHz @ 3.80GHz Quad Core DDR3 Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case)

When I press Power Inside the motherboard the power works but, the front power button has stopped working what can i do? is there any connectors, it just stopped working overnight, im a newbie with pc's and i bought the pc from overclockers about 1.5-2 years ago

There will be a cable from the case to the mobo.

Make sure they are all plugged in firmly (especially the Power one)

My power button popped out from my Coolermaster Cavalier 3 case a month or so ago. I took it apart and tried to fix the button to no avail.

However, I then swapped the cables from the power to the reset button and now use the reset button to power up the PC

(good thing is I very rarely use the reset button).

would overclockers be able to fix this issue for me? would it cost or would it be free i still got all the documents when i bought the pc, the button was always abit dodgy since i bought it sometimes when i pressed it it wouldnt turn on

Try Antec support? may send you a new button.

Antec Support is good.

i cant put the button in myself and id be scared cause if i broke something the pc repair shops always over charge and make me buy a new motherboard its annoying,
if i take it in for repairs i can at least say power button is broken,
but if i break something while trying to fix the button they will overcharge me and say motherboard is broken its happened x3 when i phoned up some randoms in the yellow pages to fix the pc its a cruel world but thats how pc repair shops are working nowadays, im willing to pay if overclockers will fix it for me
Sorry if this offends anyone if just had a bad experience trying to repair broken pc's when they always overcharge me lol ^^
