Not to long ago my son and my dog tag teamed my computer while I was taking a break from swapping out parts. The boy pulled out the wires to my front power button and the dog came along and ate them. This made me oh so happy. I batted around a few idea's which included soldering up wires from another case, replacing the case, or possibly ordering a new power switch. Then it hit me. I looked at the motherboard and sure enough the reset switch (you know that small button under the big power button that no one ever uses) has the same connector as the power switch. So I simply moved it over and now I have a fully functional and smaller power switch.
Moral of the story is never leave your computer unattended when it is open. And now I finally know why they put that little back-up power switch in there.
