Bonjour, I am here today because after a starting issue with my PC, I decided to remove the front panel and noticed that one of the four wires under the power button was disconnected. I reconnected it as best as I could, but I have to do it periodically. However, yesterday I removed the front panel (a bit too roughly), and all the wires became disconnected. It's too difficult to access them to resolder, and it's quite bothersome because without this button, I can't turn on my PC :/. My case is a Zalman Z11 Plus. I've contacted Zalman but haven't received a response (since it's Sunday). So if anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

    Everything is re-soldered. If someone has the same problem, face the button with the end that is behind alone; that's where you need to solder the white wire to the left front, the black wire in the middle, the green (LED paired with the white) on the right, and the green (power paired with the black). So if someone has the same issue and doesn't understand, contact me again ;)

    Hello,

    How many wires do you have connected to this switch, I think it's two..?

    You could put a small push button in its place, connected by two wires to the motherboard on the connector marked PWR or "Power"

    not knowing what you have, we'll have to see..??

    obviously, this is temporary until the right part arrives for the proper repair..

    But I don't really understand why you need to dismantle this panel... normally, it always stays in place... and if you have starting issues, you shouldn't wait until such extremes to think about repairing..

    Yes, I know, but I'm a bit lazy around the edges and not just that, but it's okay, I managed to take apart the button; I just need to solder now, except I don't know which wire to solder where, so if anyone has a Zalman Z11 Plus case, that could be helpful.
    And when I dismantled this panel, it was just to clean the front fan filter. Here are the photos of the button and the wires:
