: Most ATX systems have a bios option to tell it what to do after a power failure. Set it to automatically power on.

: : Me, too!! I hate having to turn on the PC separately. What I thought about doing was shorting the two pins on the motherboard that are connected to the externam computer switch. It worked ok when I tested it -- but feared that I might blow something on the mobo if I left it that way.

: : : I have to do the same thing. I just open the coin door and turn the t.v. on. It's no big deal since it only takes a couple of seconds. I don't know of a way around this. I do have a question for you though. How did you get your computer to come on with the power switch? What did you set in the bios? I'd like to do this too. :) Thanks!

: : : Game on!! Brian

: : : : Hello, I have small problem. More an annoyance. I have all my components hooked to a line that has a light switch on it, so when I flip the switch, the cabinet, PC (Done in the BIOS wit ha special setting) marquee and scan converter all get power and come right on.

: : : : Except for the TV. I need to press the power button on the TV after everything is on in order to get the TV to power up. It remembers its in S-Video mode, and works right away with the PC, but that's the best I can get.

: : : : Is there a way, some kind of simple, easy to manufacture thingy, that I can do to make the TV come on when the power is applied to the main switch? Please advise. Thanks all.
