Power Button no longer working

[Nathan Quan]

Case - Lexa S
MoBo - Gigabyte z77 (I think, its been forever)
Anyways, I recently took my PC to a LAN party and ever since I initially unplugged my PC the power button on the case hasn't been working (reset, and lights are all good though), even though there have been no problems for ~3 years before now.

Any and all help is much appreciated,
Nathan

PS sorry if this in the wrong category

is the button broken on the case ?
Can you take the case front off and still press the start button on the chassis ?

I dont know how to take off the front, but the button work just fine, it still clicks and goes all the way down. The only difference is that my computer doesn't turn on anymore haha!

when you press the start button, can you here any fans start spinning ?

Nope, no lights, fans, beeps, or sounds. The only way I get it on is to press the power button on the motherboard (praise god for that eh?)

ah, has the lead from the power button onto the motherboard come loose from the motherboard and not connected properly ?
if it looks connected onto the motherboard ok, then usually the front panel can be removed by releasing the plastic tabs on the side of the case which might allow the front panel to swing open, then you should see the inside power button which might still work ok, in which case the front panel button is broken and not pushing through to the inside button
