Powering on from PC on button?
« on: September 03, 2007, 07:18:49 am »
How would I get the monitor to power on when the PC is powered on? currently the monitor is on it's own plug, ie. 1 plug from the PC power supply to the wall & another for the monitor, kind of a bummer having to throw two plugs instead of just pressing a button.

It's a Brand New Pentranic that I got from harry at the start of my project (that's me on the label)

and connects via a 3 pin just like an ATX PSU


Regards.
