Power and Reset Button Removal (Desktop): Dell Precision™ WorkStation 210 Systems

To remove the power button, follow these steps:

1. Remove the computer cover and place it on your lap with the power button facing the floor.
   You will need to have access to the inside and outside of the computer cover at the same time. Therefore, you cannot put the cover on a flat surface because you will not be able to push the button out.
2. From the inside of the computer cover, press down firmly on the largest of the three plastic clips that hold the button in place with your thumb or a small screwdriver.
3. Pull outward and down on the button from the outside of the computer cover, unhooking the largest clip as you pull the button away from the computer cover.

To install a new power button, hook the largest clip in place first. Align the other clips with the corresponding holes in the computer cover. Then press in firmly on the button to latch the other clips in place.

To remove the reset button, follow these steps:

1. Remove the computer cover and place it on your lap with the reset button facing the floor.
2. From the inside of the computer cover, insert a straightened paper clip or similar tool in one of the two notches on either side of the largest of the three plastic clips.
3. Press down firmly in the notch with the paper clip until all of the clips are released.
4. If necessary, use the paper clip to push down on the center of the button, extending the button far enough out of the computer cover so that you can grasp it with your fingers.
5. From the outside of the computer cover, pull the button out and away from the computer cover.

To insert a new reset button, align the three clips with the corresponding holes in the computer cover. Then press firmly on the button from the outside of the computer cover to latch the button in place.
