I am having a slight problem with a new case which I
originally thought just had a bad psu, so I replaced it 
but an still faced with a deafening silence when switching on.
The actual switch has six connectors, 2 vertical rows of three,
testing these with a meter shows that the top 2 of each row
short when the switch is pressed and go open when it is released
the bottom 2 are shorted when the switch is normal and go open
when the switch is pressed, returning to shorted when released,
I have tried conecting to both pairs but still no result

I have also checked that the mains lead is ok, which it is

Is the above a fair description of the workings of an ATX switch
unfortunately it seems to be an integral part of the front of
the case so I cant actually remove it,
any thoughts on this?
