the front of my case comes off easily (don't ask), and it fell off the other day. The cables connecting the power button the the motherboard got yanked pretty hard, but seemed to still be connected... So today I try turn my computer on, and just my luck it doesn't boot up. After opening the case and examining the connections I found that every single one of the cables running from the power button area (power, reset, LEDs, etc) was disconnected except for the power button one. I spent about 15 minutes trying various combinations such as plugging all the wires back in; some of them; just the power button one, etc. Nothing I tried could get it to work. I guess the only thing I can do now is take it to Comp USA or Best Buy or something... goddamnit this blows. |

I can either spend the money to get it fixed or spend the rest of my computing days in my roomates' rooms (no thank you.) |

but yeah, I was looking at the writing on the connectors =p the problem is that even when the "power button" cable is connected properly, my computer does not power on.... something very foul is afoot here. |

take the ends off, twist them all together and plug them directly into the wall socket- works every time. |

LOL... all the mac users seem to be brainwashed into thinking they got a good deal. "Yeah, I would love to spend 2000 dollars on a really nice looking paperweight. I can check my email with this!!!" |
