Hi, I'm thinking along the same lines as you from what you say about your
problem, the switch or m/b.
I'd go for the switch first and keep your fingers crossed, as it's alot less
money.(or possibly the wiring from the switch to the m/b, maybe there's a
bad connection or a break in the wire)
If not, then I would look into the possibility of  the m/b being at fault.
Maybe someone else has an alternative suggestion?
The switch or the motherboard seems the most obvious to start with.
