Hello,

 

I have had a recent problem, on pressing the on/off power button on top of my Antec case it doesn't turn on I have to press it a few times.  Or press it slowly to turn the PC on.

 

Any ideas? This is my case - how do I get the front panel off to check connections/button?

In photo 5 of the link you provided, remove the three screws on the right side of the case (as you are looking at it in the photo). This will remove the side cover. You did not indicate your MB but you want to look in your manual for System Panel Connector which is usually located on the right end of the MB when you open up that panel I just told you to take off. It has several items on this panel like System Power LED, HDD activity LED, System Warning speaker, ATX power button for turning on your system, and a reset button connector. The cable comes with the case and you just plug in the connectors as shown in your manual.

 

Best regards,

Check the motherboard connections as Jim suggested.

 

But if it works intermittently, it sounds like the switch itself could be faulty.

 

 

It completely stopped yesterday, I tried the reset button. That didn't work. So I went to Maplin and purchased a Mobo test kit - this now works.

 

Emailed Antec requesting a spare part, so I can replace the dodgy one. How annoying it's lasted just over a year.   Anyone know how to get the front/top of the case off to replace?

I too have the same problem with my Aztec Nine Hundred Two. I have to hold the right-hand Main Power button down for say 10 secs before I see the 2 front blue-illuminated fans go off.

I did build a PC for someone some time ago in a nine hundred, but I'm afraid you will have to just dive in and figure it out.

 

Does the panel have any external screws? Or is it rivets?

 

If not, you may be able to access from inside.

Maybe this will be of some help:

Hi Joe. That is superb help as I too have this case. Thanks for that link.
