Where to get a switch for bench testing?

[DavidNJ]

I would like to use a P35 board I have to do some cooling configuration tests. Ideally, it would sit on a cardboard or wood block during the test.

How can i access the power switch? Is there something I can buy for a few dollars or do I have to fabricate a switch? This board doesn't have a power or reset switch on the board.

Thanks,

David

You could just short the 2 power pins together with a screwdriver or something for a quick fix. Otherwise, you could buy an external switch.

You could buy something like this if you wanted to.

If you're in UK, KustomPC.co.uk sell a switch, also in the pack is drive/power LEDs, reset switch and little speaker.

For now though, you can just use a flat-head screwdriver to connect the two PowerSwitch pins.
