Cabinet Power Switch (Power Button) ?

[Stick]

Hello Friends,

I have ibox cabinet from iball.

From last 1 month I noticed some changes with cabinet power switch, before that, with ONE GENTLY PUSH PC GET ON but now I need to Press and Hold this Power Switch for 3-5 seconds.

I have just 15 days old Power Safe 400W Gold PSU in this Cabinet.

What the problem is? Power Switch going to dead?

Any Help/Suggestion Please?

Thanks.

No, not at all, I strictly Put OFF main plug before leaving Chair each and every day.

I switch it on just before start PC.

OK
then the power will take about 3-5 to reach the ups then the only can the PC get on. this happens to me everyday.

I don't have UPS (it's PSU - smps), and prior to this just with 1 second SMOOTH press & PC get started but now I need to push DEEP and hold switch for 3-5 seconds randomly.

might be some loose connection inside near the button..

Hmm...this problem is caused due to dislocation/damage of the spring in the button. Just get it replaced - costs only 20-30 bucks.

Computer Engineer , arey Jack of all charge Rs.250/- here in Mumbai, think how much Computer Engineer will charge me at least Rs.1000/- and in that price I will manage to get New Cabinet without PSU, and sure will get decent caby.....

3-4 sec shud not bother u...why to spend money if everything else is working fine..

 

[Stick]

OK!

If it's not an Problem (prior to this I suspect may be some H/W going to fail and need replace, better to change now before System Fails), I can live with Peace with my System.
