I bought a Silverstone LC11, which has power on headers that use 3 pins. My motherboard's pin-outs for power on uses 2 pins. I can turn the computer on, but I can't turn it off by holding the power button. What would you recommend I do?

are all 3 pins on the SW connector used? I have seen them with 3 pin connectors, but they were only using 2 connectors. I just popped out the second pin and moved it over one so it would connect to my mobo.

Hmmm. My header has 3 slots, but only uses 2 pins. I'd like to move the wire over to the next slot, but I can't figure out how to "pop it out." I think I've got the right idea, but I'd rather not chance screwing my new case up. =)

Hi, Most pins of that type are held in by a small molded in "Latch". Looks like a flap. Get a very thin blade, Exacto knife maybe, and lift the bottom end of the flap. Pull gently on the wire until the pin pops out. Just push it into the hole you want it in until it latches. Jim
