Hooking into computer power switch that has a ribbon cable
Kevin Mullins:
And if need be you could follow the circuit traces coming off those two pins to the NEXT accessible solder point. Either on the motherboard side or the button side of the ribbon cable.
(maybe, without it in front of me it's hard to say what you'll run into)

In my case shorting together the F6 pair of pins causes the computer to startup or shutdown (if kept shorted together for 5 seconds).

Shouldn't the computer start shutting down instantly (instead of waiting 5 seconds) when you short out the pins if you have the shut down option set ???

the 5 second delay is not actually triggering the windows shutdown process, that just forces the power off.
