Yep, connect it to the pins you touched. Then see if it works with the switch. If the switch doesn't work, try reversing the pins (although, I don't think it matters which way the pins are). If nothing, then you know where your problem lies.

Yes, the power switch should be installed on the two pins you touched with your screwdriver.

Ok I just connected the power switch cord to the one I touched, and nothing

I luckily had another one lying around (power switch), and tried that one and nothing either (both same model and stuff)

Any ideas?

Are you sure the wire you are plugging in is connected to your power switch?

Yes 100% sure, its black and white and says POWER SW on it as well

(I can literally see where it goes up to the power switch, I will take a picture and upload it here in a sec to give you the view of it as well.

You had to have touched two together not one. The switch plug goes over the two prongs you touched together.

Yeah put the switch one over the 2 that I touched and nothing

Reversed them and still nothing

Do you think all 3 have to be in at once? (doubt it [hdd led, power led, power sw] )


edit - just tried all 3

power LED comes on and stays on, power switch doesnt work still (in the 2 that i touched together with screwdriver that DID turn it on)

No, you only need to plug in the Power SW. Nothing else needs to be plugged in.
