Thread: Power Button F6T

Is there a way to bypass having to press the power button on an Asus P6T in order for the system to power up? Whenever I shut down my system normally through windows. Then try to hit the power button on the front of my case to turn on my machine, nothing happens, unless I open my case and hit the power button on the motherboard. IS there a setting in the Bios or some where in order to bypass this option?

Thank you!

Are you sure you have the case power button connector connected properly to the motherboard? You can test the motherboard by shorting out the two pins that are supposed to be connected to the power button on the case (this is what pressing the power button does). If the motherboard powers up when you short out the pins, then you have one of these problems:

a) You didn't have the case power connector connected to those pins
b) What you thought was the case power connector is actually something else
c) There is a problem with the case power connector or the wires
d) There is a problem with the power button itself.

If shorting the pins DIDN'T power up the motherboard, then you have one of the following problems:

a) You've got the wrong pins
b) There's a problem with the pins or traces on the motherboard.
