All,  
I have been using my Corebox I7 for about 6 months now. Today, it quit on me. I was working on it and it just went dead. I tried plugging the power to no avail. I also used a battery charger for a Corebox I5 in addition to trying a brand new charger in the store. It won’t power on.  
Any ideas as to what could be done? Is there a technical support here in the US?  
Thanks

Most likely the power switch behind the front panel is broken/faulty. It is a rather flimsy thing when you see it from the inside.

To solve the problem I cracked mine open and rocked the body of the switch backward and tapped on it a few times. Frankly I think I was very lucky it didn’t break.

I only did this as a last resort because I was mentally quite ready to toss the thing out and for out and fork out cash for a gaming tower if all else failed.
