Dell 1907FPc

SYMPTOM:
No power


PROBLEM:
Plastic power button not making contact with the actual button on the board behind it. 
OR 
It's stuck in the depressed position.


Notice how it doesn't "click" anymore like the other 4 buttons do?


SOLUTION:
This all depends on your abilities, or your laziness. The front bezel needs to come off to get to the buttons, but even then, the plastic button is snapped off the molded plastic. So you have to get creative with some glue or something. 




Or, if you just want your damn monitor to turn on again without having to rip it apart, take a pair of pliers and hold a sewing needle under a flame for a few seconds. Then very carefully stab the middle of the power button. Sometimes the button is just stuck in the depressed position, so you want to try to pull it back out. 

Others have used a drill to make a small hole to the side of the button and then pull it back out. More info can be found at en.community.dell.com/ forums/t/18671898.aspx 


***** Update *****
Save yourself some time just remove the plastic button altogether. Glue won't last. With the plastic button removed, you will see the button board. Just use something to poke in there and push the little button when you want to turn your monitor on.
