| Martijn:
you should get a multimeter and measure what points make a difference when you press the button you can solder this from the top with just small awg wire i think 1-3 and 2-4 make contact when you press measuring is your answer |

Thanks for the advice! It looks like a multimeter is something that I should have around if I'm going to screwing around with the inards of electronics. If anyone is interested I found a pretty cool tutorial on a "carputer" geek site that shows how to wire up an external power button for a lap top that is connected with a removable 1/8 inch audio jack.
