G4 Cube Power Button Messed up

[Macman756]

Hey guys,

I don't know if any of you have Cubes, but I got one, stock 450Mhz, I took er apart to see how to replace the graphics card, and now, the power button is dimly lit and not responsive to the touch. I have had this apart a bunch of times trying different things and can't figure this out. Any ideas? Thanks

A few years ago, I had this problem in a former Cube.
I solved it by getting an old iMac first edition keyboard that has a powerbutton on it. Look around. I still have one with my new (newer) Cube, might be willing to part with it as my Cube does NOT have this problem.
