Check the manual where the two pins are. Then just use the a screwdriver or something. Don't think the pins are on the same place on all the mobos.

Use a screwdriver, yeah.

or a jumper..

thx, so a hard drive jumper would do the trick?

thx, so a hard drive jumper would do the trick?Take picture after you do this, I'd like to see it... Don't use a jumper, the power switch is momentary not a dead short! Just quickly short the pins with a screwdriver or something, it's unlikely it's switch problem anyway...

just put your reseat switch on the power switch . i had the same problem before.

Check the pins on the 4 pin 12v and the 20/24 pin connector. If they are to spread apart contact won't be made.
