Do you know the pin connections for the 980? A previous Dell discussion had them, but it got taken off when I needed the details. I’m looking for the front IO and power button wiring. Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

It's a specialized connector. I'd attempt to activate it by briefly connecting two pins together using a flathead screwdriver for roughly one second. This method causes minimal harm, essentially safe. You'll just need those two pins for the power switch—other components are not necessary.

You’re looking for guidance on connecting the front USB ports, knowing the pin layout has already been set up. Find detailed schematics or datasheets online for the specific device model.
