P182 + Gigabyte Mobo + Front USB = Computer Won't Turn On
As the subject says...when I have the front usb header (there are two headers, I get the same behavior regardless which one I plug into) on my Gigabyte EP45-DS3L motherboard connected to the lead from my Antec P182 my computer will not start...I get nothing. Unplug it and everything works just fine. Anyone experienced this before or have any ideas? I searched on google for people having similar problems but couldn't find any other cases of this
by the way..I compared diagrams from the mobo and case manuals, they share the same pin assignment--intel standard.

Well that's my suggestion shotseasponge wrote:....

There I something else you can try, like unplugging the ground pin. I can't remember exactly, it's been a few years since I had to trouble-shoot this.
Fixed a machine recently with a similar problem (although that one got as far as POST) and the issue turned out to be that the front USB port itself was damaged and two of the pins were shorting. If you have a multimeter it's worth a shot testing it - which is easiest to do from the mobo plug end. Failing that you could rig up a simple continuity tester, or even just try a rear USB bracket in place of the front port connector. Good luck.
hey, thought I would give an update.
I tried disabling Legacy USB Storage in BIOS to no avail. I guess I either have a case of bad connectors on the case or its leads or a misbehaving mobo. I'm going to put this issue on the backburner for now, unless someone suggests something else, as I don't have an easy way to test the connectivity side of things.
