This must’ve been harder to do than just wiring it the right way 😭😭😭

After the button on my front IO broke I did the same for some time before the replacement came. Works, but not a lasting solution as the dust clearly shows.

My power button is broken so i take an screwdriver and short the power button by the pins on the underside of the small pcb

I had an open case bcause my aio cooler was too big for the case and then the power button died so i just pushed the power button on the mobo every time i wanted to startup. If it works dont fix it.

I did the same for an open bench build I did years ago

I used to do this with a pile of parts I threw together on a table as a “house PC” for my cousin to play music from at the parties he had on a constant basis.
No case to throw it in, no real switch, and I didn’t trust drunks to touch the pins with a screwdriver, so I rigged this exact thing up. All they had to do was touch the wires a second, no tools required. It went surprisingly well. Lasted a long ass time.
Parts were old even then, but ran a pirated copy of Windows 8.1 fantastic, and played all the music they pirated too.

Why make complicated circuit when simple circuit do trick?

The power situation is one thing like boosting a car
But look at the case no front panel room for 2 fan’s but there gone and its coated in dust

To be fair ,that’s also exactly what the power button does

I used to keep all the components just thrown on the desk and use a house key to short the pins on the mobo. It wasn’t even a shit PC, at that time it would be top-tier gaming rig 😂

That’s fine, I used to use a screw driver to short the button header pins.

My PC’s power switch stopped working and I also did this for a while. Later, I realised that it’s just two wires making contact like a doorbell.
So I bought the cheapest doorbell switch I could find and attached the wires to them. It worked like a charm.

Reminds me of times I had my hardware installed aka laying around on my desk when I had to start it with a screwdriver – until one night I forgot to close my window when it was raining….
