Question I cant connect front power pins to my motherboard.

[Dave13320]

Basically I was chaning pc cases and the “new one” has some old front panel power pins or something. They are not like normal and divided into more pins and there are no text on them like pwr and reset.

This is the pin cable coming from front power on button:

Is it possible to connect that front power pin on this motherboard ?

So your "new one" is a Lenovo case? If so, the case and plug are proprietary, to that Lenovo board.

And what is this case, the "new one" that you are using? You're leaving out crucial information that may allow people to assist you.

Yes, it is actually old case that was sitting in the basement and i just thought i would build some low budget pc but i ran into this problem

And is it a prebuilt? An aftermarket case? Any identifing markers as to its origin? You're not exactly giving us anything to go on. Remember, you have to be our eyes and ears and hands; anything you don't tell us is information we can't possibly have. As it is, you're asking us how to connect your motherboard to "something."

And without actual information to go on, I'd recommend that if you want to run this motherboard, either buy a cheap aftermarket case that works with standard aftermarket parts like your motherboard or don't run a case at all and find an aftermarket button for your power pins.

Trying to fit a generic motherboard into what amounts to a custom lenovo case is never going to be a good match.

 

[Dave13320]

It is “ThinkCentre” case.

It is “ThinkCentre” case.

Glad to get some information.

Old, proprietary cases are not suitable for standardized parts. Once the PC inside is no longer used, it's simply unrecycled plastic and steel.

Ok thanks a lot, il probably just plug it on on motherboard

There are products for this, but you do need to make sure you get the right type of adapter, so you need to know the model of Lenovo case it actually is.
