broken power botton?

[imported_Reck]

I've been having some odd computer problems. I got a BSOD so I hit the power button since I was done playing. I go to boot up later and it boots up fine. Shut down and it comes on for 2 seconds and shuts off I could not get any response from it! I was so scared...lol. So I go off and come back later take off the front cover and use a screwdriver to hit the power button. It seems to have been like stuck down or something, it clicked back up and it started back up. So if this is the pwoer button any idea how to fix it? See it's funny cause even though it wouldn't boot, my NIC still showed up on the router as being connected. Thanks.

Email the manufacturer of your case, or the computer company tech support and see if you can buy one. If it was stuck in try spraying air, or tuner cleaner (Radio Shack).

well the funny thing though is that it's so generic...it doesn't even say the brand! But seriously this is a big problem...I'm not sure why but it was working fine then it started having a sticking problem! Just like all the sudden...

It's just a simple switch. Take it out and go to Radio Shack and match it up.

^^ What he said. ^^ As for the NIC being lit up, as long as the power is plugged in there should be power being delivered to the mobo and the NIC will be active (somewhat.) That's normal.
