My imac DV SE's "on" button is not working properly (the one on the imac, not the keyboard). It has no "spring" to it, you can push it all the way in and it just won't turn on. I have to play with it for a while before I get lucky.

The one on my keyboard doesn't work either! However this is different-it has some "spring" to it, it just won't turn on the imac.

Has anyone else seen or heard of this problem? Likely, it's just a bad spring behind the on button. Any suggestions?

I could take my imac in for service if I had too (but I don't know if I can live without it for a couple of days .

An additional problem (which may not be related) is that my clock and date occasionally get reset back to 1904!

Help is appreciated.

yeah, this is/was a fairly common issue, the hole for the button is simply too tight, or conversely, the button is too large for the aperture in which the button must fit...

either take in it for service, or twiddle with it yourself if you feel comfortable doing so

and maybe search the forum for more info on this issue
