trying to wire an arcade button to the power button on my pc

If you think those are the pins, jumper them with a screw driver, if the PC turns on then that's them, if not, pick again...

I'm finding it difficult, although I am inexperienced in this sort of thing.

not excatly sure what you mean by "jumper." I'm that inexperienced.

Don't use the DMM on the board. Use the DMM on the cable, you'll probably need a short piece of wire to get in there. Hold the switch down and do the test with the DMM.

Do not short the Motherboard. Do all your work on the daughter board ribbon cable. If you short the MB there is a USB connector and audio in the mix from the daughterboard and you could take out your USB or audio. Remember the short only appears when you push your power button.
