Power button not working
06-25-2021 06:58 AM

Hello, it would seem that my HP Compaq Elite 8300 personal computer no longer has a working power button, however, the motherboard is still receiving power.
I have tried plugging into a different wall source, pressing and holding the CMOS button for 20 seconds, and removing components to diagnose any problems to no avail.
Any more suggestions on what I could do?

Is this your computer: https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c03345460

it seems like the power-button is on the front panel, not on the motherboard.
