[QUOTE="dotdotdot, post: 1579064, member: 280973"] Imac, bought new off the shelf in August, 2012. The switched used to require just a light touch to activate. Now, I have to put my thumb on the front of the computer and index finger on the rear (switch) and squeeze. It doesn't need great force to work, but it's rather concerning that it's failing (?). Could also be that the switch is now "broken in" and is suppose to need a larger force. So, the dumb question of the day is "How much effort is normal when using the on switch of the iMac?" Do I have Apple Care? No! Hindsight being 20 / 20 ... [/QUOTE]
