Case details: Jonsbo D32 PRO motherboard with Gigabyte B450M DS3H CPU, AMD Ryzen 5 5600, MSI GAMING X GeForce GTX 1650 G5 4GB, Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 (2024) 850W power supply. Front IO ports or audio jack can be used for power connections and seem to control the system on/off. Attempted reseating USB and audio headers, replacing PSU, but issue persists even without power input. Video evidence attached; others suggest possible short in the IO panel. Likely need to return the case.
@Kilrah Seems like you're probably right. Looks like it just needs a little bit of force, so it's probably the power button itself being far too sensitive. I guess the question now is whether there is something I can do about that. It's already well secured in place by its screws otherwise.
It might be too snug already, almost ready to be pressed before you reach it. I’d consider loosening all the screws securing the front panel “frame” and those holding the PCB in place, giving them a gentle wiggle without over-tightening. If there’s a screw with the power button, that could be enough to release it.
Great observation, I hadn't noticed that screw at first. I gave it a quick look, but it didn't seem to affect how tight or loose it was—it would still cause the same issue. Once I took it out completely, the problem disappeared. After more testing, it still occurs, though it's less frequent now.
