Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Segotep PC Power Button Extension Cable, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Computer does not power on/off when button is pressed.	Incorrect connection to motherboard. Loose connection. Motherboard front panel header issue.	Verify that the "POWER SW" connector is correctly plugged into the motherboard's power switch pins. Consult your motherboard manual for the correct pinout. Ensure all connectors are firmly seated. Test the motherboard's front panel header with the original case power button if available, or by momentarily shorting the power pins with a screwdriver (only if comfortable and knowledgeable).
Blue LED does not light up.	Incorrect "POWER LED" connection. Reversed polarity of LED connector.	Check that the "POWER LED+" and "POWER LED-" connectors are correctly plugged into the motherboard's power LED pins.

Check that the "H.D.D LED+" and "H.D.D LED-" connectors are correctly plugged into the motherboard's HDD LED pins.
