Power On issue - One button Start

Yeah I saw this earlier, but it means diddly squat to me as my wiring only stretches as far as splicing. Soldering boards is not my strong point.

Thanks for the heads up though!
The_Tyler_Black:
well soldering is probably the best way to do it since the wires in the ribbon cable are teeny tiny, and since you cant solder then its pointless to tell you to add the wires to the back of the original switch! I have no idea how your gunna do it, unless your magic?  :dunno

I have a Dell Optiplex GX110 in my cab. It's set to power on after AC failure, and I turn everything on at once with a switch at the wall plate. I just reach behind my cab and flip it on.
When I need to turn it all off, I shut down the PC through Mamewah, then when it's off, I flip the switch behind the cab for the rest.
The_Tyler_Black:
So the problem for our boy "that italian" is how to splice wires in a ribbon cable and find a way to connect the wires to the teeny tiny ribbon wires without soldering! And i think still have the button on the front of the computer work!

I say this is a task that is next to impossible. Does anybody live in his area that can go and solder for him? I would but its probably not for me.

I ordered a new button. So the one on the front of the pc wont be affected as it wont be connected.

As  I will have access to the button itself I assume there will be wires that will come out of the ribbon wire into the button. What i was planning to do was to cut and strip these wires and the attach a new set of wires running to the push button on the CP of my cab.

I can solder... just not well enough to do a board. Wires I hope won't be a problem...
