    Hello.
    The black button on the back of the housing is the so-called diagnostic button - if (with the computer connected to the power supply), after pressing it, the diode next to it lights up, it means that the computer power supply is working properly. If the LED does not light up, you have a problem with the device power.

    Thanks!
    Such buttons are pointless.
