Why does the reset button on a wall outlet pop out when something is plugged into it?

Assume this is a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet. The GFCI looks for current that is flowing to ground, in a manner that could result in electrical shock to a user. The appliance that is being plugged in could be defective, the wiring connected to the load side of the GFCI may be incorrect, or the GFCI outlet could be defective. Try using another appliance. If the GFCI holds, the first appliance is most likely the cause.

Is an outlet plug that says gfci on it but doesn't have a reset button really a gfci outlet?
No, a GFCI outlet should have a reset button. If the outlet plug is labeled as a GFCI but doesn't have a reset button, it may not actually be a GFCI outlet or it may be missing a key safety feature. It is important to have a properly functioning GFCI outlet to protect against electrical shocks.

What do you do to turn on a PC if pushing the power button doesn't do anything?
I would check to be sure the power cord is securely attached, both to the computer and to the outlet. If you are hooked into a surge protector or outlet adapter, but sure it is on and not in need of being reset. Then be sure the wall outlet is working (plug in a lamp or radio or something). (Be sure,too, that your screen is powered on - I have had people who thought their computer was off when it was just their screen was not turned on!) If everything appears to be working and plugged in and your computer still will not boot up, I would either call a service technician, or carry it in to be checked - it could be the power supply inside of your computer box.
How do you reset Motorola dch3416?
There is a very small reset button on the back of the Motorola dch3416. It is indented into the device so you will need to use something with a very small tip to actually press the button.
