Re: ATX Power supply soft power switch hack...Anyone done it?

Thanks for the response.

I had already contacted the PC supplier and he is going to check some
other motherboards to see if they support this featre. I bet some of
the main boards will work if the soft switch pins are just jumpered,
but this one dosent work that way. Just powering p the power spply by
shorting bins 14 and 15 I believe (the green and any black wire) will
start the power supply up, but the pc dosent boot.

I had wanted to see what others had done before I tried building
something to get it to work the way I want.
