Let's see if I can lend a hand I am loco with the subject ...
My computer, which I have for almost 3 years, most of the time ... I will not start the power button and nothing ... as if I was not plugged ... 35 more times and nothing. After 10 minutes, try and turn to the first (not always but sometimes yes). Other times, it is curious that after giving the power button and let it goes by and not hears ... just as no one starts by pressing the power button sounds like coif but it is not. O bantams I have a PC at home or a life of its own and does what it gets from the eggs.
Once started it works perfectly ... ... does not shut down and the values of voltage and temperature measured with an ASUS utility is correct
I disassembled and re-connect the whole component to component and a connection ... and you sucked.
I bought one to read a manual and polymers billet to see how it is used ... the electrical connections of the power supply voltage and have everything seems to be OK.
The power button also seems to be OK ... the polymers measured resistance in the cable that goes to the plate each time you press / release the power button on the box.
After all the history, I shot 45 minutes every day to start the fucking PC.
For it is worth, the board is a ASUS P5WD2 and power supply for 12V and 450W P-IV ATX ... with connectors and other ...
my friend was wrong ... something similar in your HP computer, and try to help you achieve results without ... but after a few days you call q Andalusia pierce most PCs from HP, has the power button d connected to a metal traitor... if the button is useless ... look if it had been disconnected Elberton the real power of the button ... ... q is within the endeavor
Another possibility is the motherboard, try to change the font to see what happens (if it follows the same plate).
In my p4 q I have attached the source for a while to "load" the board and power on. At first I thought that was the source of change but still like this team and the other team did not.
One way to know if it is the Power button on the box the offender is to disconnect the cable that connects to the motherboard and start closing the contact between the pins using a screwdriver. If the board starts well, you have to blame if it does not start, not the Power button.
