[QUOTE="cowasaki, post: 788756, member: 36098"] Yes, the first picture looks fine. The connector for the power switch sticks straight upwards with two pins coming out of the bottom front of the connector. These pins seem to be running along the top (unless this is just how it looks in the picture. If it is how it looks then there would be no way of soldering it. If it is how I explained then clearly you can because I did. Basically you need to short out those two solder pads and the power switch is just a make momentarily button. You need to attach a connector to the motherboard that can then attach to you button. If you can get the connector re-soldered then this is fine otherwise you could solder two thin wires to these pads and connect them to the wire from the button. [/QUOTE]
