Antec Sonata case won't shutdown, only reboot

[wlee1225]

Hi,

I have an old Sonata case, when shutdown from Windows or press Power button in front of the case, it reboot itself instead of shutdown, so had to use PSU switch in the back to turn the system off.

What could be the cause and how to fix it?

Thanks.

If you recently built the computer it could be that you did not put the wire in the right way round for the on/ off button. The is usually a little arrow to show the positive on the wire of the on / off button.

If it worked before it could be a dying power supply.

Sonata was bought in 2003 I believe, shut down in late 2007 since I built a new rig using P182 case.

Yesterday I turned it back on first time to check, thinking to reuse the case & PSU for a new budget system. It might already had the shutdown issue in 2007 (no such issue before), there was no change since 2007.

I will double check the wire, does PSU usually last that long? If PSU is replaced, in general can the case still be used for a few more years?

Thanks!

I have a antec 500 case, which colour cable is it for reboot?

Who knows! Antec has manuals on their website, so that would be your quickest solution!
