I bought this PC 2 months ago. Yesterday, I had to transport it by car. Even though I packed it in the original box with foam, when I tried to set it up again, I noticed that this cable, which I had secured with electrical tape, was loose. I’m sure it wasn’t loose before.

I know it’s some kind of power cable, but I don’t know where to plug it in (I’m not a hardware guy).

Note: The PC is turning on and functioning normally. I don’t know if it’s related or just a coincidence, but my headphones that I usually connect to the back stopped working.

Can someone shed some light on this?

    Huh, now that you say so it does look like a molex connector. I haven’t seen one of those in years. If it is then at worst a few case fans stopped working. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything important be attached to molex?

      Lol yeah. It’s just weird where it’s coming from. That’s not like an old aio that has a USB to molex for power or something is it?
