Dell Gx280 Front Power Switch Removal
- The side panel is held in place by a thumbscrew in the rear of the machine, simply unscrew this until it comes completely loose. Once loosened you can slide the cover toward the back of the machine an it should pop right off.
- The front cover is a bit more tricky since there are hidden clasps that keep the cover on. There will be a total of four plastic clips that keep the front over on. You will find near you and two away from you against the back of the front cover. Once they are unclipped, the front will easily come off.
- The power switch is only held in place by a single clip. You can just lift the clip and it will come right off. To fully remove the power switch you will only need to remove the wire from it, this is just a simple electrical connector that can be pulled right off.
