Switch

Sep 12, 2004 1:59AM PDT

Hi I just put a switch on a puter. When I power it up it beeps once and powers up for maybe 2 seconds and then shuts off. I can remove the switch from mobo and use a screw driver tostart and all is fine. I was wondering if perhaps there is a certain type of switch for the power switch?? rocky

You have given us no clue about the age of this system, or what it has in it. Depending on hold old it is the answer will vary. Not the TIP about including necessary info!!
