Odd, it's not normally a problem. unless it's a really old AT not atx case.
To start a motherboard all you need to do is short the two power switch pins.
I've done this before when testing, just using a screwdriver to bridge the two pins to turn it on.
You should be able to pick up a switch at maplin but in all honesty I've got no idea what type you'd need.![]()

its a 9 year old compaq 7464 case, but the front connectors are as odd as the case itself, all the connectors are fused toghther, i cut it up so i could fit it on the mobo, but it wouldnt work,
ps, those vandals switches look like they need diy wiring...............not good![]()
yep you're going to have to buy a soldiering iron and soldier
it's really not that hard to do, kustompc also sell the connectors and wire as well.
