When i try to boot a pc using either ATX power pack it seems dead. i know all the parts (CDRW HDD) all work. if i hav the power pack out of the case it very rarely but sometimes works which is very unusual, why is it that this happens.	aidanmaz (7180)

The switch doesn't completely matter. Depends how crude you want to be. My son smashed the front of his case once, so I pulled the wires off the switch, hung it out the hole in the front and told him to touch them together when he wanted to turn it on. Zero cost in repairs. Or just buy a new case with PSU, much better than playing with old dodgy stuff.	pctek (84)

Like I said. Cut the broken switch off, you now have two bare wires, one white and the other some colour. You touch them together and its the same as pushing the button. Touch them, not join them permanently. There are cheap cases available everywhere. $50 probably. OR try Trademe for a used one.	pctek (84)
