Power Switch cable doesn't reach new motherboard

MeepsterNotchy · Apr 1, 2016

I got a new MSI H81M-P33 motherboard and the cables all connect fine except for the power button cable (I think that's what it is). It is a female connector with holes like fan pins and it has 9 holes instead, 5 on bottom and for on top (the two rows). Can you link me to an extension for it to purchase?

That's not for the Power button.

It can be a USB 2.0 extension or 1394. (if those pins are aligned without pin missing in a middle)
If a pin is missing, that's for the front panel audio.

If not clear try the below

and tell us what exactly you want.

Well, the power button does not work and that is only thing not plugged in. (The connector thought to be the power sw is from 2005 if that helps in identification at all) Ciuld that cord be for front panel LEDs and power sw?

Can you post a pic? IT's really unclear.

According to the picture, the below with a little hack it should work. There are no exact cables. You'll need to manually connect one cable.

But there's no guarantee whether connecting like that will work.
To be sure, remove the Motherboard so that you'll be able to connect that connector and see whether it works.
