    Hello,
    I attempting to troubleshoot a no power situation with a PC. A cleaner mopped and bumped the PC and then it was dead...I switched out the power suppy, cord and plugged into a live outlet, but still nothing. I'm thinking that it could be the front switch? I can't open the front face plate cover to get at the swithc!! How does this opeconfused n??

    Usually little plastic tabs, you should be able to move them inward from the inside front, near the bottom corners, while pulling the front cover off. If you try to force it off from the front they might break. Once you get a few off you should be able to get at the others from the front.

    Thanks - so much...as it turns out...A USB connector in the front had been crushed somehow- I stuck a screwdriver in it to open it up and it powered on ok. I got off cheap!

    One does have to be careful though, I have case that instead of those tabs, just needs a firm tug on a handle at the bottom. But not too firm, or it'll tear the wires.
