I used the 550D front I/O panel. I had to take it apart but it wasn't all that hard. It was harder to plug the new cable back into my motherboard since I hadn't messed around with it in a while. I just took my time and was careful. Everything is working fine now. Mission accomplished!

Or how about yanking the USB connectors from an Obsidian 550D I/O Panel? I see those around, too.

I want to fix the front I/O panel of my Corsair Carbide 500r Case. I managed to damage one of my front USB 3 ports with a bad USB drive. This case is pretty old and the parts are hard to find. I spent at least an hour looking around the Internet, even internationally, and I'm not finding the part. I did manage to find a panel for a 300r case. Someone here recommended swapping out the USB ports from a 400r I/O panel: https://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=185855 Can this be done with a 300r I/O panel? I have a really good set of 10 different tweezers and I can't get a grip on the bent pins. I tried for about a half an hour, went to bed and woke up this morning for another round. No dice. I think that port is toast.
