Power Switch Not Working?

[spenncerr]

Just bought a Shinobi XL from OCuk and moved my build from my old case to new case.

I've put everything back in and attempted to turn the PC back on to no avail. The LED on my GPU are on and the LEDs on the Mobo are on but the PC itself does not boot up at all when pressing the Power button.

I also bought a Corsair TS850M PSU but I can't imagine this to be the problem.

Thanks.

Tried shorting the pins to power up the pc without using the power switch?

Did you remember to connect the 4/8pin aux power? Worth double checking the power switch is plugged into the right pins on the header on the mobo too.

How can I do that easily?

The Corsair PSU only has an 8 PIN adapter for the CPU power, but it breaks off into 2 4 PIN adapters, we've only connected 1 of the 4 PIN adapters as the Mobo only has a 4 PIN.

You use a small screwdriver to bridge the two pins briefly. I'd double check all your connections first. Make sure you bridge the correct pins if you attempt it

Shorted the pins with a screw driver and it boots up fine. The power, reset switch and all USB ports do not work though. Fault in the case or something we've done wrong?

Could be a fault with the case. You obviously are using the correct pins, put the power connector back on the pins, if it doesnt work try turning it around, some mobos are fussy about the polarity (one wire is + the other is -)

USB 2.0 ports aren't working but Power and Reset are working now.

USB and buttons are working now. Problems solved!
