Question Miss Front Connector Pin

[apoette2]

One of my front connector wires broke; after I bought another one and tried to replace it, I realized that one of the pins to my front power connector is missing, apparently broke off. What can I do? This is my beloved Asrock Z68 Extreme4 board.

If it's completely broken off, not much. The pin that broke off was for the power button?

Yes, the bottom pin on the teeny front power connectors. There's no way to hook it into the led slots or the reset slot? I used the power switch on the board itself and it turns on, no post sounds, though. This whole thing started because I added two sticks of RAM, identical and purchased at the same time as the ram that's in it. It's been all downhill from there.

You may be forced to use the power switch on the board from now on.
