The power on button has just gone on the kids DELL Dimension PC. The
button (on the front face of the tower) used to click when pushed prior
to firing up. It no longer does this.

I suspect there's some very cheap plastic button which has broken. Has
anyone any similar experiences? Does anyone have any suggestions
(apart from putting it in the boot of my car, driving to the top of a
multi-story car park and...)

Cheers
