restarting my computer with a keystroke???

[SixFive]

I think I have some sort of short or poor connection in my stack. The last 2 times I have shutdown my computer, it was a real trial getting the power button to work to turn it back on. I know there is a way in setup to get your computer to turn on with a keystroke, but I don't know how to do it. Any ideas? I am running Windows XP. Thanks.

Some computers & laptops require you hold the power button down for SIX seconds or longer to ensure that the thing actually reboots. I've had to do this sometimes twice to get it to take. Hope this helps yah!!!

More likely the solder is worn off switch. You should be able to start it by tapping the button

thanks for the try, but none of those options worked.
