Adding External Power Switch to MiniPC?

Post by boysenberries »

Could someone in support give me a diagram of the mini momentary switch? There are 4 solder pads. How is the momentary switch connected to these 4 pads and where is the momentary contact point to short with a normally open button to turn on the computer? On these 4 contacts I have found that if left front pad is jumpered to left rear and right front jumpered to rear right, the fan comes on for a few seconds when power is applied. but momentary contact from left side to right side the computer does not power up. What have i missed? The pads are clean and not contacting any of the components near them. All components are in place and not disturbed.
Best regards,

The computer is a W5 Pro with intel Cherry Trail Z8350-2 GB ram and 32 GB storage. There is a sticker on the box that reads X001NUEO8Z. Also a sticker in the back of the board that reads 17070860 004D00255. then printing on the board that says TEAN1117. This unit does have a fan. Then on the back of the case, on the Windows 10 Home sticker there is 3258535041351- a Serial number?
Thank you for the reply.
