Restart after power loss???

Talk2raffi · 03-05-2001, 11:49 PM

I've got an Abit BX6 Rev2.0 .... My ASUS board had a function that would restart the computer if power was lost to it...Does the Abit have this? I can't seem to find it...

Here's why I ask...

I got a X10 Appliance Module I want to plug my comp in and have it turn on remotely when I park my car

The problem is that my case doesn't have an On/Off switch...it has a button, puch on/push off..

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

You've taken laziness and impacience to a new level (and i've taken bad spelling to a new level

)

heh...u think that's bad...If i can get this to work I'm gonna put one on the computer in my Roommates room and one on the printer so I don't have to walk over there to turn on his PC and printer when I wanna print

You could do a little wire splicing. I've used different kinds of switches (light switch, little twist thingy, etc.) and power buttons. There's no reason you couldn't just splice a switch onto the cable going onto your mainboard (should be two wires with what looks like a jumper at the end). Just remove it from the power button and install any switch that suits your fancy. I think.

Yeah...I thought about that...but that would be horrible ugly...Maybe if I could find a AT switch small enough...but no luck yet.

Oh... so you are lazy enough to have to do all of this, but you want it to look nice??

Think management will complain if I put them in my dorm to boot my computer, oh wait my computer is always on.
