ggharchai,
Click the link below to view the online service manual. The manual provides information on replacing the power button module. If the problem is just the power button you will need to replace the top cover of the tower where the power button is located. To purchase these parts you can contact the Dell Spare Parts Department at 1-877-717-3355 US or if you are in another country please contact Dell.
