Bad 1394 power cable - replaceable?

[valhalla8]

So I'm building a new computer, and, like an idiot, I forgot to take out the power cord as I was messing around, and the cable that connects the power button to the mobo was blown (it says 1394 on it). I really don't want to buy another case just because the ground pin doesn't work now; does anyone know of any other options?

Thanks, valhalla

It seems you have a PEBCAK error. So what are you saying? The ground pin on the motherboard is fried? Did you do a polarity check to see if the wire is damaged? If it is in fact a damaged ground pin on the motherboard then you don't need a new case and unless you are an expert at soldering and have the right tools to fix it, go to Fry's or wherever, buy a new mobo. possibly a new case, bring it all to someone who knows how to build a rig, enjoy a cold beer while you watch him or her put it together for you....Hey you asked for an opinion!

Why would the wiring for the switch say "1394" on it? I think that's for the firewire port...not the switch. Either the case wiring is screwed up...or the OP is screwed up...and I'll take bets it's not the case.

Sounds like you "got your wires crossed," and IF you're lucky, you didn't fry your motherboard...but I'll be surprised if you didn't.

1394 is code for "firewire". Not the case power/reset/HD light/power light pins.
