can anyone provide a diagram for front panel connector for dell xps 8300? i just moved the motherboard into a new case ( corsair air 540) and got a new psu. When I try to power the system on, I hear a click towards the back of my case and it doesn't turn on. Also there is an amber light next to the 24 pin main connector.

It should be pretty simple to find one, but first you need to Know the Brand and Model from the Motherboard. To know this please take a look at your motherboard and check for these:

This information might be in diferent places, once you have them you can google it up and you will Find the Motherboard Diagram.
Have you tried removing the the rams or gpu?

Have been reading alot about this amber light on dells, it seems its a common problem with them. Most people just buy a new motherboard when this happens.
An amber light in the motherboard means that theres a problem with the power transfer, and because the light its turn on that means the psu its working correctly.
Try using your old psu and see if the problem its still there. Worst Case scenario you are going to end up buying a new motherboard but dont worry that gen its really cheap.

Yeah i didnt get that post i think you wrote it at the same time i answered, weird so your Psu can Boot your Pc but it wont completly turn on? What voltage do you have your psu at? You have 2 options the 115 or the 230 , which one are you using and what country do you live in? Also for checking it really fast, check your old psu in the backside it should show the proper volt, 115 or 230.

Don't forget new OS as well, or wait.
Let see again a few things.
Why did you get new PSU? Did you upgraded your video card?
Have you tried disconnecting fan controller?
Remove fan controller cables, use old PSU and original XPS components (if you upgraded GPU, use original one) in new case.
If this doesn't work, go to your old XPS case, be very careful, remove your on/off switch with wiring and attach to your motherboard to test only - turn it on, will this work? This is where the problem is, also check your front USB panel from XPS case, you most likely want to remove it as well (to use it on new case) - there is possibility that it prevents you from booting. Dell is notorious with proprietary wiring as well, trust me on this.
As you can see, I moved from original case to Cooler Master, I had some glitches as well, original wiring saved me, so I suspect that this is the case.
So, would you try to fix or you would just get new motherboard, new OS etc....?

Look on the motherboard for silk screen label of the functions:- HD LED
- PWR SW
- RESET SW
- etc, etc.... (they are almost always there, VERY small print thou....)
Also, look at the motherboard for a part number, once you know that you can google it & usually fine the layout pretty quickly....
--Thanks man! If you look behind the hard drive connector this is a diagram of the front panel connections. Its not right next to the actual front panel its sort of above it and perpendicular to the panel itself.
