i don't know how these prongs got unplugged.. but i'm stuck here.. i get no connection with my monitor (almost as if it wasn't plugged in to the mb) and i can't turn the computer off through the switch on the front. i understand that these prongs are for power.. but i don't know which ones go in which slots. hopefully this is the reason the monitor is not functioning and i know it's why the power switch won't work.

btw the mb is an old gateway 300s (2 years old)

here is a pic of my problem.. any help would be greatly appreciated

Look in the manual for your model. It is not listed on the Gateway website that I can find.

The only one you really need is the power switch jumper. Don't worry - just use trial and error to find where it goes. You can mess with the others later.

make sure you turn off the power to the motherboard before you start pluggin'!

The bigger plug to the right attaches to the pins in the corner - it should be foolproof with one pin hole blocked out.
