Hubris

Despite my hubris the other day, the desktop is now fixed. Thanks entirely to Matt, who was able to observe the plastic prongs which needed to be gently squeezed, (and the screw which had to be taken out of one of them first). We were then able to thread the remains of the switch through the floppy drive bay so that we have a usable on-off switch. With luck the computer will now last another few months or years! (Yes, I'd love to buy a new one, and if it were necessary I could and would do so --- but I would far rather not at the moment! There are other toys higher on my priority lists, for example a dslr camera --- and that has been waiting now for over 3 years!)

So, I hereby renounce any claim to being able to deal with computers!
