I put my motherboard into a PC case with a broken power button. I really don't want to reinstall everything in a new case. I was thinking I could use a momentary SPST switch.
Is that possible? Can I just put a new header on, thread that cable into the back of a button with the cable threaded through the case grille holes, and secure that button to the top of the case? Thanks bros

Have you tried whacking the wires that lead to the broken button together?

yes
but why go with a boring button?
>>
>>2894193
yeah, just make sure it's a momentary push button. I'm lazy and just have wires hanging out, one of my others I just reach in with a screwdriver and short the right pins.

Just move the [RESET] button wire to the [POWER] header.

the power button isn't directly connected to main power so all you need is connect 2 wires together, any button will do

Super easy to do. The power switch is just connected to two jumper contacts on the mainboard. You can replace it with whatever.
