Troubleshooting
Computer does not power on/off with the remote
Verify that the receiver unit is properly connected to the motherboard's USB 2.0 9-pin header and the power/reset pins. Ensure the battery in the remote is new and correctly installed. Check that the remote is within the 20-meter range and has a clear path or minimal obstructions to the receiver.

Confirm that the reset cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's reset pin header. Test the physical reset button on your case (if using the Y-cable) to ensure the motherboard's reset function is operational.
Remote signal is intermittent or weak
Replace the CR2032 battery in the remote. Ensure there are no large metal objects or significant electronic interference between the remote and the receiver unit. Try repositioning the receiver unit if possible.
Physical case buttons no longer work
Double-check the installation of the Y-cable. Ensure both the ES02 cables and the original case button cables are securely attached to the Y-cable splitters and that the splitters are properly connected to the motherboard headers.
