| 249891 | 2004-07-05 02:20:00 | I suspect that the power switch on my case is faulty, but it could also be the motherboard. How do you start the computer without using the front power button? I assume it involves sending current down the two "power prongs" on the motherboard. Cheers, Ben |

It only needs a brief touch to start. Of course not all mobos designate pwr pins as such and can label them something else. As in everything, do at your own risk :-) |

If you suspect the switch is faulty, just briefly connect the two wires together. If that does not start the PSU/computer, then the problem is elsewhere. |
