    Power button on PC turns it off right after I turned it on.

    Hi ! Thank you very much to both of you. My friend realised that, despite its momentary look, the switch is a latching one, so I have to change it. Thank you again and be safe. Is there any way to mark the thread as solved ?

    Power button on PC turns it off right after I turned it on.

    Would it be ? It still turns off even if I keep the pressure. Thank you.

    Power button on PC turns it off right after I turned it on.

    Hi everyone ! When I use this button for my PC motherboard, it boots, but it turns off a few seconds after. I know the button is to blame because when shorting the pins with a screwdriver, it stays on. Also, the button diode is on when the motherboard is off, which I find weird. As you can see...

    Dell Optiplex 360 LGA775 motherboard: where are the booting pins ?

    Weirdly enough, although it says the 360 is among the models for it, it is not, so no, thank you. Is it safe to try and short each combination of pins in the FRONT PANNEL connector ?

    Dell Optiplex 360 LGA775 motherboard: where are the booting pins ?

    Thank you, but I couldn't find the pins to be shorted. What's weird is that the pins I talked about, where the motherboard says FRONT PANEL, are meant for the floppy disk connector, so I'm confused.

    Dell Optiplex 360 LGA775 motherboard: where are the booting pins ?

    Hello everyone ! I have this motherboard along with its power supply because I want to build a wooden case. But I can't seem to figure out what the 2 pins for booting are since I find no explanation on the motherboard itself and the videos I've seen talk about motherboards with way less pins for...

    Hi everyone ! I need either to find the power supply for the unit or (I guess THIS will be the viable option) to make one from one that's compatible. But I have two issues with that. Here is the machine: The biggest issue is the pin layout. I've never seen it before. I hope we don't need...

    2 hard drive-related questions for PC part-replacing project.

    Hello everyone ! Sorry if this is not the right forum. Here they are: -Can one replace a desktop's SATA HDD with a laptop SATA HDD ? I remember reading about power issues, but I don't remember well enough. -Can lower-storage SATA HDD be faster than higher-storage SATA HDD? For example, 160GB to...

    Laptop as a Playstation (PS1)

    Oh hi ! Thank you there, I actually went and looked for emulators, and now that I know and use them, it is so great. My plan at first was to modify the computer to act as a Playstation 1 and use it only for that, which is quite dumb actually.

    Cannot pair wireless Switch Gamecube style controller from Power A to computer

    Hi everyone! I cannot pair the controller to the computer. I'm on Windows XP professional SP3. When the controller gets detected, I try to pair and it asks me a code. When I type in 0000, it looks like it gets connected (because there is no error message), but it doesn't. Is it a driver's fault...

    Controller in serial DB9 port

    The thing is I cannot plug the controller and play. The thing is not even detected. I want to know how and if it would be feasible to use one, just like when plugging one via USB.

    Controller in serial DB9 port

    Hi people! I want to use controllers that use the serial DB9 port, such as the Sega Genesis ones in the computer for emulators. I know there are USB to serial DB9 converters for sale, but I already have a port in the computer. I know it is not meant for controllers, but how could this be...

    Wii controller not turning on

    Alright, thank you man. I will do just that. And actually, every button on the controller can be used to boot it. The power button is for the console. And hey, since I think about it, can micro capacitors fail?
