Question Need a solution for front panel power button

[sarfrazk638]

My case's front panel power button is not working and I don't want to open the case everytime to short the pins. Is there any alternative to it?

Can you be more specific when you say "not working"?
How is it not working?
1) Does it not press when you press it? (Physically not pressing in)
2) Is it pressing but not powering on the computer?
3) Is it connected correctly to the pins on the motherboard?
4) Are the cables in good shape and not damaged?

Swap cables for reset and power buttons.
And use reset button for powering up your pc instead.
(unless reset button is broken too)

What case is it? Often you can find used (fully working) parts on ebay or other places.

Or you could get a new (external) one:
