Update: After 30mins of pressing the power switch button, it back alive.. But the problem, is it wear and tear issue? Because when i just bought it, just need 1sec to on it... Recently need to long press it then it will turn on (After 3-4secs)..

Now it's ok, but scared after switch off liao the problem resurface again.. any solutions experts?

You can buy replacement power switch from shops in SLS. But need to solder yourself. Else can just use your reset button as suggested

Alternatively can bring casing back to distro for repair

Go buy 5.25 cd rom slot power switch.

Does you casing comes with reset switch?

Erm.. I do not know..

Erm.. I do not know..

beside that power switch there is a small button, that is a reset switch.

probability of a faulty psu or motherboard is higher than a faulty casing switch tho...

yes,

just switch the wires from the power switch to the reset switch wires on your motherboard can liao

then you can use your reset switch as the power button

So now reset button dieded also?

Use screwdriver to start it and never off it ever again

Or use bios to set turn on using keyboard

Might be cheaper to buy a new casing.

I'm eyeing the Air 240

The N200 is also a good choice.

so sure it is the power switch? this can happen to faulty PSU too..... i ever come across a computer that doesn't power up when you just switch on the mains.... but after waiting for 15mins or so... you can start the computer...
