Just completed my first build, everything is working fine, other than the case power button.

Power-on on the motherboard works, and I have swapped the reset cable into the power pins so now the reset button acts as power on, so it's not a duff motherboard. But that now leaves me without a reset button.

Is there anyway of me fixing this my self, as its going to be such a pain to disassemble the entire rig for a replacement case for such a minute problem.

I guess if it´s just bad soldering or something you could try to fix it yourself.
I don´t really know the Midgard 2. Only the Midgard 1 which was a pain in the a$$ when it comes to accessing the frontpanel.

You can easily access the front panel. I'm just unsure where would need soldering. And I wouldn't want to void my warranty, as I said this is my first build, I'm not great with hardware, I'm more of a software tech. Is there a replacement switch and cable I could simply just buy?

Thanks for the reply.

Easiest way is to check the manufacturer´s website. They usually put possible replacement parts there.

If I were you, I´d just take a look at the soldering on the power button´s contacts and check the cable, too. If I were to see an easy to fix issue, I´d do it myself. But if not, I´d probably send it in.
