148170 2003-05-28 16:15:00 I got this "keyboard Power On" option in the BIOS
Does this mean i can turn the PC on by using the keyboard?
Cheers

148171 2003-05-28 21:13:00 if your keyboard is ps2 and has a power key then yes.

from what i have seen this function wont work with USB keyboards even if they have a power button because USB needs the system to be powered up to work.

try it and see what happens.

148172 2003-05-29 01:04:00 Well my keyboard is PS2
It doesnt have a power Button.
In the BIOS it gives option of changing the power key to something else.
Like to some other key on keyboard.

I tried it, does not work. Maybe it has to do something with power supply.
