Fautly power switch

[shadowtheweak]

I just built my computer two days ago and already my power switch is not working. It will click and sound like it's working, but my computer will not turn on. Is there anyway to bypass the power switch without turning on the computer? Or can I cut the red and black wires off the switch and touch them together to turn it on? (until I can buy a new one).

Case: Rosewill R6AS5-BK

Motherboard: Gigabyte DS3

PSU: Corsair 6HX620W

Just swap it out with the reset button for now 8)

One of the wires connected to the switch fell off, so I took the other one off and stripped. Now I basically have to jump start my computer haha. I don't even know where I'd find another switch.

(btw I don't reccomend this case at all)

FrozenCPU has a bunch of switchs, just pick one.

Hardware stores like Lowes and Home Depot have switchs as well. I picked a couple up a week ago for $6 each.
