Is my case broken, or am I just simply stupid?

Hello,
my Apluscase touch frontpanel is not working properly. The lights on the fancontroller, LED toggler lights up, but has no functionality. When I play a little with the MOLEX cable, all the fans runs at high speed, but the frontpanel is still not doing anything. I got a video of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxRzg0AqO1E

Looks like the yellow cable (12v i believe) is making trouble. Can you remove it from the connector and plug the molex normally to see if it works ?

Hey! Thanks for responding :)
I connected to the frontpanel directly from the powersupply, and without any luck, it did not work :(

I wouldn't recommend playing around with Molex connections while the computer is running. They aren't designed to be hot-swappable, if you cause a short it can easily blow the powersupply, motherboard and really any connected components (as I have once myself done...). Apologies if I seem condescending, just don't want people making the same dumb mistakes as me.

Recheck the connections between the fans and the front-panel (unlikely fault since they do run) otherwise it probably is an issue with the front panel.
