Dell Dimension 9150
When I psuh the power button on the Dell nothing happens. I tested the power supply and the test shows the power supple to be 100%. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to remove the power switch board and if their is a way to test from the board to make sure the switch is bad?
Thanks for your time :)

Byron96,
Did you look in the Manual?

You can also try shorting the green and black conductors on the motherboard PSU connector. This tells the PSU to start up (essentially what the power on switch will do).
It the machine starts, then there is something wrong in the power on circuits or possibly the motherboard (it has to power the power on circuits when the machine is off).
