[Motherboard Switch Contact] Power led lights up after closing the lid. Image included. Acer V5-573G

Dear Community!

I have a problem with my Acer V5-573G. There is a switch on the motherboard, that releases when you take off the bottom half of the laptop. It may have some contact issues, since after closing the lid, the power light lights up as orange (it is blue when the laptop is turned on). When that switch is being pressed, the orange power led lights up, and seems that has some kind of a contact problem since it's vibrating and dimmer sometimes. Do i have to change this switch, or does it have other problems (like ribbon cables or any other component that can yield similar problems)?

If anyone could offer some advice or help that would be great.
The picture shows another motherboard, but the switch is the same.

The spring-loaded normally-off switch should be fully-depressed when the bottom cover is in place. A spacer should be taped to the cover so it presses harder on the switch to keep it in the on-state. Jack E/NJ

The problem is not that simple, even when i press it fully, it still has some contact-problem.

It turns on every time, so the switch seems to work. Please do share your ideas. If you think i can also record some evidence.

With the battery removed & charger unplugged, I suggest that you try to physically clean the switch's contacts by quickly tapping/pressing it repeatedly. Trying to replace it might cause other problems. Jack E/NJ
