MAME PC Power on Switch
Beaps:
Hi All,
I have stripped my PC and put it in my cab but I want to create an external button to switch on the PC.
The power button is a press pad but I was wondering if there was a way to mod it?
Any ideas?
Thenasty:
thats just a plain momentary switch (usually found/used in laptops). You can just solder a wire with a regular momentary switch (like a pushbutton on your CP). If you want to, you can take that switchpad off before soldering the wire.

solder a wire where - sorry I am a noob
do I have to take the button off?
Thenasty:
you can trace it underneath. If you want, take the button off......There are only 2 connections in there. If you look at the bottom of the board, you can usually see and solder from there.
Take a pic at the bottom.

here you go...
Thanks
