"This had been an issue with a very tiny portion of old OEM computers. However, today this issue does not exist with any computer or case manufacturer."

I have a X-man gamers case, that I know the MAIN power button is bad.
It is a lot looser, flopy? than when new.....I need to check for tightness MAY be a bad ground, and SHUTDOWN is no problem because I have the power off feature built-in

My question; Is it harmful to use the smaller warm re-boot button, until I correct this?
