I bought the PC in the attached from Currys - who have themselves very useless (the first 2 machines wouldn't even post on boot up, second would power up. So when i got a third that finally worked i was happy. However the intake fans were a bit temperamental and the lights. Having a poke around the wiring looms a narrowed it down to a a particular wire/connection (the wire eventually fully broke off from the power connecter

Does anyone know what the wire is called as PC Specialist have had 1 attempt to send me a replacement and sent the incorrect, i have sent the below pictures and not heard anything back. At this point for the sake of a couple quid I'm willing to pay for the wire myself now.

Oh yeah, and i forgot to mention that the motherboard was not screwed into place, only the graphics card was holding the motherboard in place (wasnt doing a good job of it either!)

Any help would be apreciated

Picture 2 is split from the initial sata PSU connecter into a 4 pin connection

The other end is then threaded through the machine to the rgb/fan control at to top of the front panel

The cable with the two different sockets on a Y split (second pic) is a choice of power options, can plug into a sata or a molex cable coming from the PSU.

Depending on what the fans are, you will have two cables coming from the fan (one power, one lighting/RGB) or just one for power, they dont come as a combined lead.

To be honest, how you describe the state of the machine, i would still take it back (probably also get a refund and order direct through PCS)
No idea what damage could of been done if the motherboard wasnt even fitted properly...
