Hi,
I have an old Gateway machine that has a plastic block screwed inside the front of the case. It houses the power and HDD access LEDs as well as the power switch for the machine.
I was taking apart the pc recently and the little plastic clips that hold the LEDs and switch in place broke off. I was able to glue back in the LED clips successfully, but the power switch won't stay glued reliably..especially as it'll be getting some amount of pressure applied when the switch itself is pushed.
You can see what I'm talking about here, with the LED clips glued back into place, and the power switch hole on the bottom of the image.
The switch should fit in as below, but of course the plastic retaining tab is broken off and missing in this photo
Has anyone got an ideas what I could do as an alternative to the plastic tab, to hold the switch in place? Would hot glue hold it reliably?
