My parents PC broke, and i'm 99% sure it's just the power button that's broken. When they plug the PC in it boots for a few seconds then shuts off, and they have had to use a screwdriver to make the button work in the first place for a while, sounds like it's just making a permanent connection to me.
Any quick fixes for this? I googled front panel cable and at first glance they seem quite expensive. can i just try pulling the the cable out of the case and jury rigging some kind of button onto it?
