Question:

where does the power sw and reset sw cable go?

Can anyone help? my pc wont turn on without them hooked up.

Answer:

You will need to look up the motherboard manufacturer to find the pinout for the cabling. That would be the fastest way. or you could use a small flat screw driver to short the pins until you find the right combo...the latter could result in damaging your mainboard but not likely. You will need to look at the original case plug if possible. HP/Compaq do not list the pinout nor is it written on the board. all it it listed as is HPanel1.
If you look very close the position for these connectors is written on the motherboard along side of the pins that they connect to in very small letters.
