Powering on your cab without hitting the power button: the cap trick
<< < (2/7) > >>

Yes, that is "jamming", it is not compatible with all televisions and makes the other buttons unusable while the power button is "jammed"

But the capacitor making the TV come on interests me.

Thanks,

If I understand correctly, this capacitor trick will work exactly like the "jamming" trick you speak of.

As a side note, wouldn't you need to set up your computer to only go to the shut down screen and not power all the way off with the cap trick? It seems it would turn right back on if this were not so.
spystyle:
I would assume a capacitor turning a TV on would be differenet than holding a button down because there is an electrical current.

As for "shutting down" the computer - that's one more reason to use DOS, it dosen't need to shut down.

Cheers,
Craig

Depends on the button.
