Anyway to fix a cases power switch cables?

[shryke]

Ok, I just put together a new computer and I've been having alot of odd issues.

One of which was it's occasional refusal to turn on properly. It would power up for about 5 seconds, and then shut itself off.

Eventually, I managed to track this back to the cable that connects the power switch at the front of the case to the m/b. If you jiggle it a tiny bit, the system does the power up and then shut down thing, and otherwise works extremely finicky like.

I'm not sure what's up with this. Is their anyway to fix this short of returning the case and getting a new one?

My case is a Coolermaster Centurion 590.

I THINK it's the wiring. Not really sure. All I know is when you jiggle the cord, the computer switch gets randomly flicked on.

I'm trying to avoid a big hassle, but at this point I'm looking at RMAing like 3 things, so what the ****, why not?

I would grab a similar switch out of another case or replace the wires and switch with something from an electronics shop and mount it myself. >_>
Much cheaper than shipping would be if you RMA I think.
