My computer is approx. 2 and on half years old. The power button does not seem to be connecting to the wires that come from the hard drive. I've taken all three wires of one at a time and cleand them and tried to power up, nothing. A few days later I did the same thing, just pushed the button (without the front case on) and it powerd up. I'm afraid to turn it off as I have no money for a tech, so I have been rebooting the computer every day, sometimes twice, and cleaning the files every other day and leaving it in standby until I use it again, Which is everyday. Is there anyone out there than can help me? Will leaving it in hibernation or standby hurt it? My office never turned their's off, isn't it the same concept? HELLLLLLP> -- Frances M. Magasano
