When I tried to power the PC on this morning, via the push-button on the front of the case, all I got was a big fat nothing!
The PC was powered down normally via Windows "shutdown" last night.
The push switch felt a bit "funny" so I took the front of the case to have a look and the switch literally fell to bits!
There just seem to be two wires (black and white) coming to the switch and they are very thin, so I don't think they can really be controlling the power directly. There's a voltage of about 3V across them so I assume this is some sort of "logical" on/off switch?
I assumed that just shorting the two wires together (briefly) would do the trick, but ... nothing, still!
Help please!!!!!!!!!!
