PC won’t boot

[JackWrright]

Bought some new parts for my pc but kept the old case; the power button connected to the motherboard via the F_panel however my new motherboard has a shorter F_panel thus not allowing the cable for the power button to be connected. I’m no pc expert but I’m pretty sure the motherboard is receiving power as an orange LED is on. I’ve tried to ‘jump’ the PC by using a screwdriver to connect the F_panel prongs but not sure if I’m doing it right nor 100% sure if the motherboard is properly receiving power.

Can anyone please help me???

Shortly touch with the screwdriver the 2 prongs labeled PWR_BTN, or similar and GND.

Thanks for your help. I unplugged all the cables then reconnected them all again, tried jumping the motherboard and it magically worked. Not sure what the initial problem was but at least it's working now.
