When I was younger I had a computer where the wrong fell off and stripper the wires from the button.

To turn it on and off I had to hold the wires together, felt like I was hot wiring a car every time.

Perfect prelude to playing GTA
When I bench tested components at a PC shop, I’d use my smallest screwdriver to short the pins on the motherboard to start up the caseless computer.
Wasn’t this built so the front wouldn’t fall off?
Well, Its not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
We’ve towed it outside of the environment.
Well how is it untypical?
8 have a server that’s a motherboard in a shelf that I stick a screwdriver into to power cycle
You Monster! Why would you power cycle a server?
Kinda the same here but one day I noticed it also worked by simply touching the case with one of the wires and that’s how I did it from here.
