Or are you asking how to repair a power button?
Recently my old pentium 4 machine stopped responding to the power button. I tried jumping the power button connector, and nothing. But today i turned off the psu, put a jumper wire between green and ground, and put the motherboard connector on. The i turned the psu on. To my suprise the pc started and posted fine. So any advice to get it to boot usinng the power button. Motherboard is asus p4b.
