Hello!

So I built a computer about 6 months ago and everything was working just fine but as I came home today, my PC would not turn on after pressing the power button. I decided to see what the problem was and removed the front panel power switch wire from the mother board pins and was able to power up the system by shorting it with a screw driver. Is it possible to fix a non-working front panel power switch wire? or is the only option to replace the whole chassis?

None are broken or bent in anyway

but if it was, wouldn't it not have turned on if I used the good ol' screw driver method?
