What type of wire connects the fpanel stuff to the motherboard

Tags: Hardware

Hello, i have a bit of a problem. the power button on my pc had stopped working so i narrowed the problem down to the fpanel connector being faulty. I was wondering if you could help me find out the name of the type of wire that connects the power button to the motherboard so i can buy a new one.
Thank you

https://www.alphr.com/features/378919/how-to-fit-the-internal-cables/ calls it a motherboard-power-switch-cable. and says it comes with the case. So the motherboard side is standardized, but I doubt if it’s the same for the case-side.

The maker of the case might sell spares. Ask their customer service. Or take the case with you to a repair shop and see what they have.

The worst that can happen is that you need to buy a new case and move all your hardware into it.

All motherboards have front panel connectors that a PC case connects to. The cables that connect to the motherboard come from the PC case.
