So I was changing motherboards like 10 times because can't make up my mind what I want in my latest Case and wired it wrong to the 12v and saw smoke form behind turbo button, I immediately turned off the pc.
Everything works, display and button was still working and confirmed turbo working too but it lost its springiness, probably from some melted plastic.
I took it apart and unfortunately broke the plastic mechanism inside, which was probably broken anyway since it would press in but not depress unless pulled out.
So I am trying to find a new button, the actual mechanism that goes behind the round button on the case.
Its like a little spring push button with 6 connections 3 on each side. (can't post picture because its broken to small pieces now)
I have no idea where to look for a replacent, couldn't find anything on google/ebay. Anybody have any idea what part number or keyword I can use to search for it?
Wow, that's funny. Sort-of.
I had the exact same thing happen to me 4 days ago.
In my case the button melted to the point of being jammed inside and the wiring started to smoke badly. All that in a matter of under 10 seconds.
What I discovered is that the motherboard, in my case a MS-4144 has 3 turbo pins, 1 ground, 1 for turbo-disabling and 1 at 5v in that order. (GND disblTURBO 5volt)
The switch however has a different order of pins, where the common pin comes first, then NO and lastly NC. (COMMON NO NC)
NC = normally closed, NO = normally open
As you can see, if you wire the pins 1:1, and you disable TURBO, you basically get a full short, also smoke and lots of swearing and praying that its not fatal to the mobo (and I'm an atheist, 🤣).
Be sure that your wiring is ok, because mine actually had melted away in places, and could potentially touch parts of the case.
