This means the push button found on most current Desktop PCs.
The link I shall give is beery s confusing. Let me explain. Soothing has happened to the way electrical switches work mechanically.
In early years most electrical and electronic things would work with a simple on/off switch. Up is on, down is off. Or left and right. Either way, the switch was in one physical state or the other for the duration of a period of time.
Then came push button switches.. Push once, it goes on and the button reverts to idle state, but the device stays on. Push again, the device goes off ant the button goes back to the idle population again.
Now lets say one m blind man wanted d to make sure a light switch is off. If it was a push-on push-off thing, that man would not know. Or be right halt the time.
A similar problem and happen with a computer. The monitor may already be off, but the computer t is still running. When the background noise is high you would not know it is running. So does one hit the button once and see if it turns on the monitor? If it does, one should hit it again to shut the PC down.
Some have hoped they could go back to the standard switch for a personal computer. Two reasons.
1. Some military switches look real cool for a DIY PC. Great for a gamer!
2. With a standard switch, off is off and on is on. With that there is no guess work.
Now here is the link where one use posted his problem and never got a really good answer. But the photos ware nice. Take a look:
http://themodzoo.com/forum/index.php/topic/389-diy-guide-install-fighter-pilot-toggle-switch/Google this and find lots of similar things. Maybe more that one person wanted to do this. Is there a way to do it right? I believe there is, but never found it in a search.
So, the question is:
How to put a real on/off switch on a new computer that has a push button?
(Go ahead, say it is near impossible.)
