Need Help!
Kronos:
I am working on a form of a bartop (pics will be up a little later) but I am trying to make the power come on with a pushbutton located on the back. How do I do that, the pc is a Dell GX 260 tower. Any help would be uhhh.... helpfull.
Kronos:
no body has any experience doing this. Come on, this is all I have left to do.

There should be two wires coming from the power button on your PC that go to the MB. All you need to do is cut your power button off and wire them up to a normal SPST momentary button (like a arcade push button). Connect the wires to the common and NO (normally open) terminals.
If you don't want to butcher your wires you can use a [JST cable] which should fit the header on your MB. Just replace the original power button connector with one of the JST's and then wire your new button to the JST cable. That's what I did for my GFs juke anyway.

What is it with folks bitching about lack of response time lately, particularly for questions that have been asked so many times ? :whap

that wasnt bitching :banghead:, thats just all i have left to do. Back to my ?, the problem is that I am using a dell gx260 and it doesnt have wires going to it. It has a little circuit board with a button connected by a ribbon cable to another circuit board that has a headphone jack and a usb port on it that is then connected to the MB.
