HI,
What kind of button switch do I need to replace the 'on' switch that is
on the front of the UMAX S900. I presume it is working on a low voltage and
telling the power unit to come on rather than actually turning on the mains
voltage directly. Correct me if I'm wrong on that point. Is there some
specific part or would any button switch work as long as it fits in the
aailable space ?
The S900 is continually not powering p or partially powering up and
stopping. Lots of repressing of the switch seems to work. I think though
that the switch is faulty.

I can't answer your question as to type of button for replacement. A number of companies used the same case including Dell. So the button switch maybe available. Mine quit working several years ago. Before I got around to fixing the button switch I found out the ADB keyboard power switch turns the machine on and off. So I've been using it this way for a long time, years. The design of the box pulls a lot of dust in. My floppy drive is always full of dust. So I'm guessing the button may also be full of dust or corrosion . In either case a can of electronic contact spray(sometimes called tuner cleaner) from Radio shack (or elsewhere) may well take care of the button problem. Will S
