Power Problems

This is my first build and I'm having some power issues. I tried removing everything as directed in another post ad powering the basics. Basically, everything powers up when I short out the power pins, and I've gotten everything connected, EXCEPT the power switch. When I connect that, it won't start up. I've tried connecting it every way I can think of, but it won't work. If I disconnect it and short the pins, it starts just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The switch for the power button is defective and needs to be replaced. Or if your case has a reset button switch you can swap that one with the power button switch. They're both the same type of momentary contact switch.
