Question

HP p6320y power button issue

Jul 22, 2011 12:15PM PDT

My daughter spilled a small amount of liquid on the power button (crazily this power button is on top of the case) while the system was on, which then shut the computer down. I took the system apart and verified that the only place I could see liquid was on the power switch. The power supply itself is in the back no where near the button.

Answer
Any decent tech and repair shop can sub in a switch.

A push button switch is a FUNGIBLE item. One is as good as the next. Any decent shop can fit a new push button for that power switch in less than the usual one hour of shop time.

Thank you. After a good drying out the computer is working fine. Thank goodness nothing else was fried.
