Thank you! My husband and I repaired our power button together. Thanks to you, we didn’t get divorced. :)

I have never taken a lap top apart until I had this problem today.....GOOD VIDEO!!!!

I went screw by screw with this video and it was perfect. This was the best diy presentation I have used online so far. My sincere thanks to Michael for taking the time to put it all together. Thanks, Jerry

Your video recently helped me whilst I replaced the power button board on my 5558 laptop. I had the video playing as I worked through the various stages of the job. Everything is done - thank you very much.

Thank you, Michael. This was very informative, and I too was able to fix my Dell Inspiron 5555 P51F laptop. The button was bad on our laptop, wouldn't 'click' anymore. Got the part from Dell, with tax, free shipping, for under $11. So, you helped me save ALOT of money!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! The computer power cord kept getting yanked out until I couldn't get the power cord to go into the jack. The video for power button was the same delicate surgery for the power jack as well. I bought one on Amazon for under $6 and I'll be up and running in a few minutes after that. Thank you for not blocking all of the screws and a huge thank you for showing the dell specs as well.

Thanks for your explanations! I could repair my power button with your great video!!

I was facing similar problem from many days with my Dell Laptop. Your detailed video helped me in repairing my laptop easily. THANK YOU very much.

Thanks for the help, man! While watching your video, I was able to repair and replace the power button on my laptop. Great job!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You helped me get my sons computer working so we are both very appreciative!

I decided upon a frontal approach. I’m an ER doctor so I took oscillating cast saw a cut 2.5 x 3 cm rectangular hole around on/off button, pried it off using a Leatherman Wave utility tool, then pressed underlying button, and it turned on. Doesn’t look too bad. You had to go back to get one misplaced screw, I would’ve done that a few times before throwing computer into ocean. At least I knew what to be looking for after seeing your video, so thanks all the same.

Thanks for your help! I had to order a new power switchboard. It came with a "raised" button and took 4 weeks to get here from China. Your video helped a lot. Keep it up!

I had the same issue! I couldn't turn my computer for a week; brought it to different technicians but could not fix it. But I followed your video and fixed it! The screw on the power button was lose. Thank you so much!!

I just turned on my laptop after following your video (also with the instruction manual by my side) and felt so relieved because I didn't have any backup and my computer failed from one day to another. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for this video--it helped me replace my broken power button board. I appreciate the detail!

Thanks for the video. Helped isolate the same issue on a Dell 5551 ... The button board is worn. Ordered a replacement. Thanks again.

I replaced the power button board on my Dell model 5558. Even though I had the manual, I couldn't have done it without this video. Many thanks! The only problem I had was getting the antenna leads back on the WiFi module. Initially, after repair, the computer would not run without the charger being plugged in, but removing the battery and holding the power button down for 20 seconds before reinstalling the battery, solved that issue. But it's all back together; everything works. So for $15 and some time, it saved $$ and the anxiety of outside computer repair.

Thanks for the detailed and clear video. I was able to follow along and repair my laptop without a hitch.

This was very helpful but I am still having a power problem. You helped me by just showing how to open up my laptop. I know they show you in a book but seeing it done was more helpful.

Thank you so much for this video. I had same problem in same laptop. Quick search on KZfaq brought this up. I had to buy another module however still needed to get to it and rebuild. Spot on!!

Thanks to you when a coworkers brought me his laptops I was able to fix it.

Thanks man! Opening the laptop apart and put it back is always the scary one. The old me would've thrown this laptop away since I'm no technician savy. Ordered one power button cable/motherboard and now works like a charm.

Great video. Walked me through the whole thing. Only suggestion is that before going through this whole process, buy a replacement on/off switch and just swap the old one out. The replacement was only a $10 item.

Thank u soooooo much ... Ur vedio is awesome and l really could fix the botton again .. i has an exam tomorrow and u help me to save the laptop and get my work again ... Thank you aloooot

Thank you so much, just fixed a laptop without losing any screws! I added a drop of UV glue under the button so it would make better contact and it worked great!

Hey buddy Thanks for your systematic video helped me alot my laptop started working back again

Thanks dear. It was helpful for me. I fixed my power button successfully.

It helped me fix my computer power button, thank you so much!

Had same problem, followed step by step first time, worked for a day. Second time followed the same thing and placed a small paper ball between external and internal buttons. Works fine for now. However one can replace external /internal button.

Thank you, so much, for doing this video. I was able to fix my power button in less than 90 minutes and under $10. Awesome.

just saved my day , i just added some tapes under the button amazing

Thank you much sir. I had resolved the issue with your guidance .

Thank you very much man now I am very happy Also I HAVE OPENED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME😘😘😘😘😘

Thank you so much. It's very useful for me.

Thanks for the video, I’d suggest ordering a new power board before opening the case or being prepared to have a type of tape to build a better connection with the plastic push button. I got mine off Amazon for $8.

Awesome video man! Thanks for the help.

Thank you so much..... my lap works again!!!!

Thanks for repair guide But can you please give link that where i can buy this type switch

Hey i have dell inspiron 5558... Where did you buy the backlight keyboard? Is it the same for my laptop?

बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद!!! आपने हमारे बहुत पैसे बचाए!!

Thank you! it's really helpful :)

Hi , my issue is that the power button when I press it ,but do not have the click sound(I guess the connector broken?) - my laptop(lenovo y520) I try poke into the small hole at the side it on but no bios show up screen is black (but the keys are all light up)

HII! GREAT VIDERO.... I think there is something else wrong wit my button cause I still feel it the same way as before. But it was so much fun to do this. Thankyou

Thank you from France.

What screw driver did you use to take out the really tiny screws? Do you know where to buy it?

I fixed my Dell laptop today thanks to this video it suddenly won't turn on and what I did was put some glue stick underneath the button that presses on top the power button of the cable, since then all was well thanks

Same problem here with Dell Inspiron 5000 laptop, model 5758. Purchased 6/2015. Talked to Dell customer service...they will fix it for $159, out of warranty. Jerks! Service rep stated this is a known problem....but is unwilling to say it's a design flaw so they won't fix it for free. Strange because my employer has several of these same laptops and 2 of 5 of them have the exact same problem. It's a racket! Thanks for the video!

Can you please tell me the screwdriver that you used to remove the three flat odd screws under the optical drive???,i cant get the screws of with my screwdriver..

I had the same problem. After a lot of unscrewing, screwing pulling apart and putting back the got the button alligned and now it works. There was no button "click" earlier.

I'm having the same exact problem and followed the manual by the letter to get to the power-button until I got to the base cover. After getting all the screws out and popping out the hinges, there was something in the middle holding the base cover down. It wasn't a screw since I got all the 15 screws the manual talked about and no other was in sight. It was as tight as glue. I couldn't risk trying to pry it open by force so I just gave up. Going to check with a professional shop to see how much it's gonna cost me. Technology is really made to be replaced instead of fixed these days...

Good information, now I know how to fix my laptops power button. One suggestion, please use a fixed mount camera for recoding. The motion from the head mount camera made me feel weird. But regardless the video is very good.

Thanks, great video, convinced me NOT to try that myself. Life’s too short.

What point of screw did you use to take out the power button?

hai sir i have same laptop its not working when i on the laptop its on but display is not on fan and all working then we check the display, display is fine please give a suggestion

Great video!!! I was super worry about my computer. I followed all your video now its working, yaaay! Anyway I want to change the power botton board cause seems a little loose still. My question is I found a replacement for a Dell 14 5000 model 5468 can I use it? I dont want to mess it up. My computer in Dell 15 5000 model 5558 I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance! :)

Thanks for making a video like this, i have almost the same problem, somehow fan got a bit loose so I need to tighten those screws Only problem I have is trying to take out the CD drive (yes i did take out the same screws) and everyone i see taking it out do it with ease any help would be great, thanks

I have the EXACT same laptop, but the power button is jammed, it would not click, and no matter how hard I press, it makes no click at all, making the laptop impossible to turn on. Please help me with this.

This problem persists until today. I have an Inspiron 5759 where the power button got dislocated by regular use after a few months. A while later it wasn't possible to use it at all. They should really create a better power button button design.

Thanks man for the full tutorial!! seems like that is a common dell problem... I have the same issue and I'm about 1 month to present my master thesis... I'm very upset with my dell plus it heats a lot, mine is an inspiron 5758, don't recomend to buy one....

My laptop power button got slacked !! It's not working! What should I do plz help me!!

Ive got the exact same model, im seeing a blinking light which looks like it might be a tiny spark under the + key on my numpad, is it something to be worried about?

The button feels good and the lap top turns on usually but sometimes it just doesn’t turn on at all although I hear it click!

Big help. Thx

If it doesn't fix magicaly like him, put a little piece of plastic glued on the SMC button or simply put a little bit of crazy glue on the top of the button to add more click feeling area.

Softwares and other programs remain in exact state as before after this method? Please let me know

I have the 5566 and it takes dozens of clicks to turn on. The button feels fine but it's still a pain. And it may just be a coincidence but for a time, it seemed to turn on easier when I had unplugged and replugged my mouse

thank you dont need the power button fixed but how much would be different to replace the dc connector

if I take off the hardrive does the stuff in it remain intact?

25:25 those tiny round head WiFi cables gave me hell

The snaps on the WiFi card are so hard to put back in . I’ve been trying for an hour

What main silver tool are you using?

I can't unscrew the power board ,the screw is small and no heads fit in it.pls help

Thanks for share

Thank you

I'm having issues with my internet. After putting everything back together I realized that my internet has trouble connecting and maintaining an internet connection. How do I fix it?

I'm having the same problem

Mine won’t turn got orange light but no Power

I cant fix it

wiggle these in until they're in place then push them down.......yeah, an hour later and i still can't get one of them in, so i give up until the morning lol. in hindsight "don't disconnect the wires from the wireless adaptor, just remove it from the socket and push it through the hole still connected to the wires and you'll have a lot less trouble

16:10 Is what you came here for... THE POWER BUTTON. (you're welcome...)

Thanks for the awesome video! Just fixed this issue with my dad. However, if anyone is watching this video with this problem they also need to watch this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbhjZbCStreyl40.html Michael got lucky and there wasn't an issue with the button but there is a flaw the other video above talks about. I used JB Weld to fill the gap between the button and power button and it has been working so far! Thanks again!

Hey guys just enable in BIOS option "Wake on Power". )

your video is not focused to the work you are doing Look after 12
