Guys i just upgraded my motherboard from z97-ar to a z170-ar mother board. i have a enthoo pro case and i am having trouble turning it on. i don't remember how i wired it earlier but i don't know where to put the second pwr-sw cable.(the first picture). when i plug everything in and turn on the power supply the led where it says pwr-sw turns on, it green.(second picture) you can't see the led in the picture but does turn on. also the reset is directly behind the pwr-sw. any help would be great. thanks in advance.

Hmm. The manual only mentions one, that I can see. First thing I would try is reversing the one that's there now. If that doesn't work, try swapping with the other both, also trying directions.

tried all direction, none of them work. also i cannot figure out why the motherboard led lights up but it doesn't turn on when i press that button.

Might not be that button. Might be a loose or missing screw on mounting the board, a missing power connection to the board or video card, a fan not connected to the cpu fan connection on the board, etc.

Great looking case btw.

The power switch is usually on the other side of the Q connector with the reset and hdd. You can also short the pins on the board to see if it powers on. If it powers on, you could have a faulty power switch or the wire could be broken loose from the switch. Or you are not wiring the Q right.

I have used that case for builds, and the first time I used it for my son's system, I was impressed with the build quality and features for a $70-$80 full tower. Other than the plastic front it is solid and heavy, and I really like the included fans, grommets, fan hub, psu cover, included hardware and its organization, and the clean look. Tempted to stock up on them...
