After a around 6 years, the front power button is now slower to press, I need to use more "force" to get the computer to turn on. If I just do a light click, it wont.

I'm guessing the power switch is going bad, what to do?

I sent an email to zalman 17 days ago, still no reply.

I'm worried one day it wont turn on at all.


-Thanks.

googled-.. ''Zalman z11 case switch '' and see a lot of posts on broken ones

you would think these companies would have a parts dept, and be able to just order a new switch not leave you holding the bag . ''I sent an email to zalman 17 days ago, still no reply. ''

ya, they know its a junk switch

they can be used as stand alone switches though dont look great

or might fit in/under your old one all depends on how your old one is assembled

ya, unless they sell replacement parts like a front panel that the switch is included [I dont see any parts support from them ] your pretty much stuck with a 2ed best choice or like said above may can rig a fix on the broken switch you got now ??

may find one of them like I listed form somewhere that will fit your cases button part with a little modding and super glue and still have it look like factory appearance ?
