The PC. : Acer aspire M5700
Issue :
When power switch is pressed, sometimes it turns on, sometimes it does not. Other times, it turns on if I give the switch a light knock or two. I guess the power switch is out of order, but I cannot be sure.
I know one of the methods to test it, by shorting the power SW pins on the motherboard, but I cannot do it. The Power SW plugs are stuck or rusted to the Power SW pins. They cannot be pulled apart with a reasonable force.
In a case as this, how do I make sure or test to make sure that the issue is caused by the power switch on the outer case of the PC?
Thanks.
