Remove the two screws on the switch cover plate, and carefully remove the cover plate. Use a non-contact voltage tester to test all of the wires in the switch box to confirm the power is off. Also, touch each of the switch's side screw terminals with the tester probe.
If the tester lights up at any time, indicating the presence of voltage, return to the service panel and shut off the correct breaker; then retest the wires to confirm the power is off. Remove the two screws that hold the switch to the box. Carefully pull the switch from the box, and check it once more to be sure the power is off to the circuit feeding the switch. If your switch is a dimmable type, it will have a much different appearance.
Dimmer switches have larger bodies, and they are generally connected to the circuit with wire leads and connectors rather than screw terminals. If you are replacing a dimmer-type switch, make sure to buy the proper replacement. Note the switch wiring. There should be one wire only under each screw terminal. One of these will likely be black, it is the feed wire from the power source. The other may be black, red, or white, depending on how the age of the system and the location of the switch on the circuit, but it always serves as a hot wire in a switch configuration.
The switch terminals are interchangeable, so there is no need to identify which is which. If there is a white wire connected to the switch, you are probably looking at a switch loop configuration, where the switch is the last device in the electrical circuit. In this instance, the white wire is being used as a hot wire, and it should be labeled as such with a tab of black or red electrical tape. If it doesn't, you can add this tab during the replacement. If there are other white wires in the box that are not connected to the switch, these are neutral circuit wires that are simply passing through the box; they should be left as is.
Loosen each screw terminal and remove the circuit wire. If your switch is connected via push-in wire connectors on the back of the switch, you can release the wires by pushing a small nail or screwdriver into the release slot next to the push-in connection. Push-in connections are regarded as inferior by electricians, and it's best to use the screw terminal connections when you install the new switch.
Some "smart" switches, which can be controlled by smartphones and other wireless devices, require a neutral wire to maintain a wireless connection. Install these according to the manufacturer's directions. Connect the green grounding screw on the switch to the circuit's bare copper grounding wires. If the circuit has just a single grounding wire, then it can be attached directly to the switch's grounding screw.
If there are two grounding wires, then attach a grounding pigtail to the switch's grounding screw and join the pigtail to the circuit grounding wires with a wire connector. Pigtailing is also the method used to connect a metal electrical box to circuit grounding wires—a box pigtail isn't necessary with a plastic electrical box.
Inspect the end of each hot circuit wire. Bend the end of each wire into a C-shaped loop and wrap it around a screw terminal on the switch in a clockwise direction. Tighten the screws down firmly. Tug on all connections to make sure they are tight. Gently tuck the wires into the electrical box, then mount the switch to the box with its two mounting screws. Reinstall the switch cover plate. Restore power to the circuit by switching on the circuit breaker or reinstalling the fuse.

It's got this weird little screw design I'd rather soldered. So we've removedMoreQuite nice well-made. So we've removed the old power switch that's attached to the case. How does a power button work technically? The power button has a cable, which is connected to two pins on the motherboard.
By pressing the power button, a circuit is closed on the mainboard. At that moment, the power supply receives the signal to supply the computer with power and thus start up. Power Buttons on Computers On mobile devices, these are usually on the side or top of the device, or sometimes next to the keyboard, if there is one.
