If you broke the front panel board that controls the power button, reset button, USB ports, audio ports, etc then none of those might work.
Which case do you have? or you could provide an image of the broken board.

If you do not need the front USB or audio ports or you can use the rear ones.
Depending on the PC case and manufacturer, you might be able to buy a replacement board.
Also, which I have done in that situation, install a 5.25" drive bay with USB and audio jacks and connect it to the motherboard USB and audio headers.
