Hi all,
 
I'm in love with this case but one issue I'm having is that the front power button (the one near the fan controller + Kboost button) does not work to power on my pc. The fan controller works, restart button works, KBoost button works, temperature display/fan speed % works, but the power button does not. I haven't tried a different Molex because it feels impossible to disconnect the darn thing lol but it should not be that that's the problem because like I said, everything else is working on the front panel.
 
Thanks in advance! If the button connection itself ends up being broken, I can deal with it because it's a PITA to take everything out and re-build my pc.

    Hello,
     
    for the front panel headers for the power switch there is a specific polarity on the 2 header pins + and -
     
    Have you made sure that these connectors are connected properly and not reversed?

    I tried turning the connector around, still nothing. The LED turns on in the E when the system's on, but it will not start or poweroff the system.
