I've encountered a situation with my Corsair Graphite Series™ 600T special edition white. Both the power and reset switches have failed, possibly due to wear. Initially, only the reset switch was functional, so I used that instead of the power button. Recently, both switches stopped working completely. I tried bypassing them by pulling a side panel and connecting the power switch directly to the pins on my Asus motherboard, but it didn’t help. I’m wondering if the problem lies with the motherboard itself rather than the switches I’ve been testing. It’s odd that using a screwdriver to short the pins worked while none of the switches responded. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you can tighten the screws, the motherboard looks fine. However, this doesn't confirm the Dupont-style connectors are working properly—especially if they're worn, as the connector type itself is often unreliable.

The existing power switches come from older models, which makes sense. I’m curious if it’s feasible to install a new switch in the updated case since I really prefer it and wouldn’t want to discard it for that reason.

It's likely you can locate the precise switch details from a parts supplier. If you're willing to solder, there aren't many hidden secrets in the front panel.
