this is the btc section not the alt coin section.

I asked mods to move this to alt coins.

In the mean time I will try to help.

is this your mobo?

page 1-1 bottom right number 7  the system panel connector  has 2 pins  that need this wire  to turn the mobo on

alright thank you, i have everything seemed to be hooked up correctly but i cannot find where i need to plug in my power switch cable.  there is a small indictator that says where but it still will not power up, but it will with the test connectors hooked up to the power supply.

In the photos I have attached here for you to look, there is the first photo of the motherboard, in the green circle you have to find two pins that reads PWR , use a phone torch to find them. In the second I have put a multimeter, you can turn on a motherboard with a multimeter if you don't have a power button to use. Also in green is where you should put your multimeter pointer. Just touch the two pins with the two cons of the multimeter and the motherboard will power up. Hope it works in case you haven't already fixed by now your problem
