two pin power switch

#1 (**permalink**) 08-12-2006, 05:57 PM

I'm wondering about the two pin power switch that is on ATX
motherboards.

Can you turn the motherboard on and off by tapping these two pins with
a screwdriver?

Thanks.

Yes you can. it`s what you`d do if you suspected your
On\Off switch was faulty.
