Hey everyone! I just needed a bit of help with my power on/off switch.. I broke the original one on my acer Aspire XC-230 desktop.. I can't for the life of me find an original replacement and I have searched google and ebay for hours! I want to replace it and was wondering if this would work for my pc? Power Switch Amazon
I'm not sure how to upload pics on here... So can't show you what my original one looks like although it is similar to this Similar old looking wire and switch on ebay but mine doesn't have that those two long red and white wires...
The wires that go to the switch on my old broken switch are 4 (grey, orange, white, green) -- the ones at the other end of that cable that goes onto the mobo, there are 5 wires (grey, orange, white, green and a black one), they all go into a little plastic black rectangular piece and clips onto the pins on my mobo..
I cut the switch off of the one end and if I touch the white and orange end of the wires together for a second I can start my computer and it works fine. Would feel better with a switch rather than two wires sticking out of the top of my pc..
Any help would be great... Thanks
