My case's power button broke need a new case

[River]

Need a new pc case. Not sure which one to get. Needs to be a full tower. I can show you the broken case I have now if needed. Here it is. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811112559?Item=N82E16811112559


It was a good case just old.

The only thing I want, if possible, again is usb ports on the top of the case.

You can buy a power button pc power button on amazon lol its a big oversized button.

I highly recommend the Fractal design Define 7 case, it's the last case you'll ever buy

Is it better than Lian-Li cases ?

The button cover on the Case, or the internal button?

[StickyPawz]

Old-school solution: If your old case has a reset button, you can switch the 2 power pins to use that button.

Connect Reset Button to PWR BTN pins. Or if do not have a reset button, remove the front panel and remove the broken switch cover and you should now be able to still press the physical button that actually has the wires on it

I got a brand new $125 Lian Li case off of bidfta online auctions for $4.

Unless you feel a real need you don't need to go change the entire case. Besides, doing so is alot of work for some folks. Extra time they don't have. And if not done right you could even damage something in the process.

the case you posted a link to uses normal power switches.....you can fix it for 5 dollars.....

^ this
common power/reset button switch for 90+% of cases
oem may use something different
but they are fairly easy to pop out and replace

if its not the switch itself, it may just be plastics that push the button not aligned correctly

You can buy standard 2 pin switch and LEDs off Ebay, Amazon; etc. really cheap. Easy to mount.

Just replace the switch. I had to do that before and it was easy to do. Except on that case the wires was soldered on the pins of the switch. I bought clips crimped them on the wires and then slide them onto the pins. Worked great.

Usually the small box that houses the switch is often clipped into place and maybe secured further with some hot-glue. Unless you have a very unique cas4 with a ln odd ball custom switch it should be fairly standard. Usually you have to remove the front panel and either the switch is connected to that or its clipped into place on the chassis side where you can get to it once the front panel is removed.
