if you want a permanant fix, just head down to the local radio shack, pick up a normal switch of some sort, solder some wire onto the ends and connect them via solder or some plastic connectors to the right pins and u have urself a makeshift switch. just make sure that if you do this dont leave the switch on the on position or it will just boot and shut down![]()

Perhaps you could suggest which 2 contacts in the case front group could do that? I doubt it.

It's in the MB's manual.

Use a door bell type switch (momentary). Solder on a twisted pair lead that's connected to a 2 pin header. Shrink warp the open contacts on the door bell switch.
This thing will become invaluable if you like to build PC's on the bench.
I'd avoid the screwdriver shorting method. Shorting the wrong two contacts could make your MB go "poof".

I think he meant which two could make it go "poof." I doubt it too, I'm really sloppy with my screwdriver and I just run it over all the pins until it turns on.![]()

I think that's a bit excessive. I worked at a computer store, and our service department's workstation was without case so we could access and replace parts easily. There's no real problem with EMI issues. I've never had one before. Although I'd have to say mounting it on the wall is just asking for a dust problem.

well order a button shorting out the power button is quiet stupid everytime he needs to start his computer he said for his build he wants to skip the case so he needs to be able to start it easily and busting out a screw driver to turn on your computer isn't impressive to friends/family![]()
