I'm having to turnmy computer off at the main power supply as I cannot turn it off with the switch?

Question

Any advice please?

Answer 1

I would advise you to get somebody to look at your pc.

If you keep on turning it on and off at the power socket you create a surge of power to your motherboard and you risk blowing your board. If this happens then you will have to replace your motherboard and get someone to put a new one in and connect it all up.

This could cost you a bit of money, so i would recommend getting some one to look at it before you blow the capacitors on your motherboard.

Answer 2

press and hold the power button then when it shuts down switch off at the mains

ok the switch is the problem get it fixed for free if it still under warranty or you will have to use a soldering iron as it is only a disconnected wire

Answer 3

Answer 4
