Ill isolate the wires for just the switch and see what I can do.

That's usually what you have to do.
If you can look up the motherboard manufacturer's website, you should be able to get a manual. The pin-out information should be in the manual, assuming you can find it.

Another trick....
Connect the motherboard/CPU/RAM/HDD up to a regular ATX PSU.
Use a small flathead screwdriver to short each pair of pins in that bank and note the results.
When the system powers up, note which two you shorted to cause the startup.
Those two pins are your power switch headers.
