Switch

Sn1P3R · 25-08-2008, 11:44 AM

I tried to turn on my PC this morning and nothing happened. The On/Off switch at the front of the tower usually lights up blue but it was lighting up orange for a couple of seconds and then nothing. I unplugged the power lead, plugged it back in and the PC come on. So im pretty sure the on/off switch is faulty. I dont have a clue where i can get a replacement. Ive searched the internet and not found anything. I got the PC from PC World and they dont stock parts like that.
The tower is a Packard Bell Istart, can anyone help me out?

take the case off and see if there are any cables loose, which lead to the power button; try to switch the computer on from when you take the case off. And by case I mean the front end of your case, or wherever the power button is located.
