| Making motherboard boot as soon power is present? |
| << < (3/3) |
| ultrageek:
couple of items... 1. if this works, wouldn't your PC auto-power on after a power outtage? Exposing it to spikes during a storm? 2. Wouldn't just extending the power button be a better idea? Could use it for startup as well as graceful shutdown with an ATC case/mobo. With this mod, you have to press a button or flip a switch either way right? my $.02 the geek |

While it was on I still had to short the cap's legs with a screwdriver..and then it booted:) --- End quote --- Are you sure you got the cap on the right way? If you did, you may have to use an even smaller cap, say 1uf. |

Yes, it's on the right way. I'll try a 1uF and get back Thanks for your help! Nicholas |
