OptiPlex 3050 Micro Power Button
I just started a new job with a very small company. I was supplied with a used OptiPlex 3050 micro. The power button needs replacement. I find it necessary to push it 20-30 times until I am fortunate enough to get the machine to start. The company is in no position to buy a replacement, or send it out for expensive repair. I would like to know if this is a simple repair that I can complete myself. I have had no luck finding any videos. If anyone can help me an understanding of how complex this repair is and how to approach it I would be very appreciative.

Power button isn't listed. Because its soldered onto the board.
So I would say no its not something you can do.

Someone who knows computers better than I changed the set-up on my computer so that it powers up when I unplug and plug back into power. The power button does not need to be used any more. I agree that I would not be able to fix the button. Thanks for the response.
