I accidentally pulled out a little wire and can't figure out where it goes. Now my computer won't turn on.

it comes from the power on button. I think it goes in 1 of these sockets. Only the right 1 has a gold pin sticking out, but it's only the button pin. No upper pin is there.

Here I tried to plug it into the 1 pin, but no power. Any ideas? (sorry for the dust - didn't know it had accumulated ;))

so it looks like there should be 1 gold pin on the bottom half shown above. that is where I plugged it in but no power. is it so that there would be just 1 pin (as indicated by the filled in black square on the pic you showed)?

oddly, the connector says Reset SW on it, but those reset slots are already used.
