The manual on/off button on the front of my tower is not working properly. When I press it in (ON) it stays depressed, and won't pop out. Can somebody direct me as to how to fix it, or where I can purchase a replacement part (at a nominal fee).

That is a momentary contact switch. Radio Shack has lots of them for a couple of bucks. The case maker might be willing to send you one too. If the case is still under warranty try them first. How easy changing it is will depend on the model of case and how easy it is to get to.

It might not even be the switch, I had a button that would get stuck because the plastic button was a little big for the opening. I had to remove the switch and the plastic button and then sand the sides of the button to reduce the diameter a bit just so it would slide smoothly in the opening.
