Cold boot - Help!

[petulantpanda]

I am trying to see if there is a way of cold-booting a PC without accessing the motherboard power-on pin pair.

This pair of pins is often covered (i.e. Dell use a proprietary 40-pin block across all those pins, so you can only access the pwr-on pair if you pull the 40-pin block off, but that disconnects a lot of other stuff.

Does anyone know a way of turning on a PC other than bridging the pwr-on pair on the motherboard?

Thanks

Hello,

My question is, why? Don't you have a power switch?

Every power supply should have one, unless it's those cheap ones. Had a mATX PSU on my Sony w/o a power switch. It was a pain.
