broken power button

xraycat87 · 9 Dec 2017 at 12:08

Ive had pc's for the last 20 years and that includes maybe 15 cases... now my first case has broken on me and it's the power button on a corsair 200R. The button literally snapped somehow :/

Is there a way to just get a replacement front part?

Geez, what are you doing with those cases?
I've had total of 6 cases in 22 years with now same case for 9½ years after finding good.

Have you opened the case to look if it's actual switch which is broken or some part of "external" button part?
If button literally went in when pushing it that microswitch doesn't have much any movement range.

If you need to power it on in the short term you can use a screwdriver to short the two power pins on the mobo header front panel connector I believe.

Also there are plenty of vandal switches on here which will work if you need it.
