Hey guys,

I received my Osmi case, and the 19mm Phobya vandal switch is not working...or i can not get it to work. I am sure it is wired correctly, because it is illuminated, but nothing happens when I press the button in. I am only using the positive/negative contacts from the switch to the P/N contacts on the mobo.


When I use the switch from my old case, the computer turns on not a problem.

If i cross the positive and negative wires from the switch the computer turns on as well, just not when I press the button in.

Any suggestions?

Computer is being powered via the HDPLEX.

Does the switch have 5 terminals on it?

And do you mean the button lights up only when you turn the computer on?

Ended up fixing it. I had the P/N of the LED terminal running to the P/N MB Jumper on the MB. This is *not* correct. The LED terminals should be going to the HDD light jumper instead.

Hmm, most of the pinouts I see only have 5 terminals so I'm not sure which switch you have.

I guess having the LED go to the HDD indicator works, but it should work with them plugged into the Power LED pins. Does the power button work now?
