The power button on my computer is stuck, and I can not push it to turn the computer on. I have no clue what to do, the computer works perfect, I have no clue how it happened. How do I get the power button to "unstick". It is a push button, and when I push it, and pry it with a screwdriver, it moves a little, but will not spring back out!! Thanks!
Replace it.
replace it? how do I open the front cover of the computer do get in there? I can open the side cover, but there is no access to the front of part of the computer system (where the power button is) from there
It's a facade panel. It pops off or has screws holding it on on most cases.
Should be either clips or screws holding the front cover once you get the sides off,

I know with some Gateways, this would require a newer bezel, hopefully that is not the case here or else you might end rigging up a button power the crude way.
Yeh, being an E-Machines they may have welded the thing on.LOL!
just got the front cover off, there was plastic covering it, and I cut the plastic off, and finally got it unstuck. Thanks so much everyone!!!
You are welcome. Good luck.
"there was plastic covering it, and I cut the plastic off" OUCH !???
May need some crazy glue to reassemble" Please Post back to let us know if we helped "
