Power switch replacement

Can anyone tell me how I can replace the power-on switch in my Gateway 500S PC? Don't see how to remove PC right side & front panels to gain access to switch.... tx

 

jammer,

I found a couple pages with instructions for removing the case. I'm not sure if either one will work for you though, but worth a try.

Gateway 500SE Computer Case Cover Removal
How do I remove and replace the front bezel on the Gateway 6-bay computer case?

If the first one works, there should just be clips inside the case to release the front panel. That's the way a couple of my IBMs worked.

Hope that helps.

Tx for the quick response.... neither instruction applies to my Gateway 500S... there aren't any screws holding the left panel on... there's a latch that allows removal of the left panel, but I can't find any mechanism to remove the right panel or front bezel... tx

 

Try this it might be your case http://support.gateway.com/s/CASES/3501813/3501813tc.shtml

 

Tx y'all... tmarks found exact tower/instructions... you folks come thru as usual... tx again

 

You are welcome good luck on replacing the switch

 

Great to hear. Thanks for letting us know.
