About my CPU

Aug 10, 2017 9:56PM PDT

Hello. My CPU power button has some troubles. There are times that the power button does not work. It takes me 20 attempts to press it until it works. And it worries me a lot because I use it for work and it may or may not turn on. I brought it to the repair shop and it worked. They said that they moved the power button to the reset button because the power button is not working anymore. When I got home, I have the same problem. It takes me so long to turn it on. Can you help me?

Take it back to the repair shop.
It seems they did not fix it.

Does anything happen when you push the power button?
Maybe lights or fans spin.

Well, it worked in the repair shop. They showed me. But when I got home, I still have the same problem. I still make about 20 pressing of the button before it opens up. What could be the problem? Is it the power button? Or the temperature? Because it's kinda hot in my room. I don't know.

Nothing happens when I push the power button. I just wait for a while, while pushing the button many times.

Try a different power cord.

Try a different wall socket.
