How do I bypass a "soft" switch?
(1/2) > >>
Magnet_Eye:
I have this PC in its case in my cab, and it has the dreaded soft switch! I have one switch to turn on my power supply, which turns everything on, but the pc doesn't go unless I hit the soft switch. How do you by pass this so it all fires up with one switch?!

Eh?

BobbyG66:
What PC do you have? Model#?

I have not heard of a soft switch before.  It may be possible to bypass or "short" the switch, BUT it is probably their for a reason. You don't want to start a fire or damage your PC.

You may want to check online for others that have that PC and see what they have done, or even contact the manafacturer as see what they reccommend.

Good luck.

Just leave the PSU switched on all the time.  Then all you have to do it hit the power button.

The PC is inside the cabinet, which i keep closed...the power supply switch is outside, but then i have to open the coin door everytime to push the stupid soft switch on the pc case! annoying! I tried to set the bios to turn on the thing with any key press, which would work, if not for the lame ass soft switch case!

So, maybe i should rip apart the case?



PedroSilva:
Hi,

Most newer boards have an option on the setup to bypass that.

Look for "Power On Behaver", ou "Power On Setting" or something like that ...
