Adding A Power Switch.
« on: February 27, 2011, 10:18:00 PM »
I am working on a mini xbox project and would like to add a flip style power switch rather than the power/eject buttons from the original xbox chassis.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

if you were to just replace the current momentary button with a regular swtich then you would need to flick it down to turn it on but to turn it off you would need to flick it up down up to ground the button again and make it work.
my guess would be to see what the button is grounding, short the button and put the switch on the V+ source its grounding to make it turn on.
im sure theres other options but i cant get any more specific without looking at how it works myself.
