Ok, so I want to change my power/start button to a key-switch. I no this can be done because I have seen it about.

Does anybody know how to do this and any tips/what i need to make it work

Any suggestions would be great,

You just go out and get the switch you want. Then you take the current button wires coming off your motherboard and wire it to the switch you just bought. I might be mistaken, but I think that should work. If it doesn't, the wires might be backwards, so try switching them around. If it still doesn't work, I got no idea. Hope it works!

Just ordered my key-switch from http://www.maplin.co.uk and will let you know how it goes.

I think it might be a bit difficult as I have a light round my start button but i think I will just remove it.

Im only adding a key-switch so no one can get on my PC laugh.gif laugh.gif
