Hmm, you may need to replace the motherboard or the computer itself. If you don’t feel comfortable replacing the motherboard yourself, then contact your computer manufacturer to have it fixed.

Danny Vaughan no reason to replace the motherboard just yet because of a switch. Post some good pictures of your board and the damaged switch etc. At bare minimum a switch can be bridge with some jumpers etc or you can always try and resolder a new switch. We need to see the damage before giving you something a bit more concrete. Always try iFixit first and after that it’s ok to iReplaceit
