Power Switch

[Pingjockey]

OK after running this computer for about 2 years, I have a recent problem. I must now press the power switch multiplw times before the power comes on. Sometimes 7-8 times, other power on require 12-15 times pressing of the power button.

Weird

Anyone? Could my switch be wearing out?

Chances are the case switch has gawn bad. So buy a new case of a new switch.

To make sure its the switch and not the motherboard, unplugg the switch from the board and use a screwdriver on the 2 pins the switch was on. This will turn the system on for you. If it doesn't work the first time you do it then the motherboard is the problem not the switch. If you short the pins and it powers up you know its the switch for sure.
