Question My PC case's USB3 lead connector is stuck in the motherboard socket.

[cfrankb]

Hi all,

I was doing some cable management on my PC today and I broke the USB 3 connecting cable that feeds the case's front panel USB3 ports.

The lead plastic bit (of the cable) is firmly still stuck in the motherboard socket, while the rest of the cable is separated and the gold pins are exposed.

Fortunately, the motherboard itself is working. I was wondering if the cable attached to the case itself can be replaced? Or is there a way to improve or fix this situation.

Comment, suggestions and ideas welcome.

Regards,
Frank B.

The cable can be replaced in the manufacturer offers spare parts or if you can find them used online.

What is the part that I need though?

The USB3 cable is shown on page 8

I contacted Zalman and they told the case is discontinued and they don't provide spare part for it.

Please advise.
