I have this case: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-SPEC-03-Plastic-CC-9011052-WW/dp/B00J63LFTW/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471807905&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=corbide+case+spec+-3

and this mobo: https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-DDR3-Motherboards-Z97-PRO3/dp/B00KAZPZK0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471807921&sr=8-1&keywords=asrock+z97+pro+3

Today when I tried to turn on my computer via front panel power button as I always do, PC doesn't boot up. I opened up the case, plugged out the power button wire, short 2 pins and it boots. So the problem lies underneath case power switch wire somehow doesn't send signal. For now I have to use the short-pins trick to turn on the computer temporarily, is it anyway that I could fix this power button wire? Or maybe there's a replacement?

I know that 2 pins end, what about the other end? Do I plug it into the case? The connector doesn't seem familiar

I have the same issue with this case, every time I remove the front panel to clean the case ,somehow the power button gets loose and won't respond for a while.. you could hear it clic but no power on, guess that's a design flaw.
