I just bought a new pc case and the power button would not work upon further investigation I found 2 small wires that came loose from the plastic enclosure it was connected to. Do I heat the ends up with a soldering iron and jam them back in there or can this not be fixed?

Here are images so you can see what I'm talking about.

Well...the terminals can be soldered onto the wires, but you need to remove the terminals from the connector block before attempting that.

It would actually be better to get a-hold of a couple more of the open barrel terminals, and crimp them on to the wires, then insert the terminals into the connector block.
