Hey guys. quick question. i've been looking at the ways to solder on a switch to my power button on my inspiron. i've seen all the switches and diagrams on mp3car.com but my switch is slightly different. I'm not sure exactly how or where i'd solder wires so that i can run a power button up to my dash.
This is what the board looks like:
^^^^ that is exactly what I did with my Inspiron 8600. Also makes it easy to remove the laptop if you need to like if you were to take it into the house and transfer some new media onto it, or just use it in general as a backup computer.
1995 Pontiac Trans Am 5.7 L LT1 V8

Dell Inspiron 8600 Laptop and dock
Intel Centrino, 768MB RAM, 80 GB HD
Panasonic BD-5300 Head Unit
Flowmaster Exhaust
Nothing beats the sound of a V8 that likes to speak up...
I am using a Dell inspiron 1100. it seems the picture u have posted is the switch board. in mine i have removed the switch circuit board and installed wires into the socket that the switch board. usually there is a bunch of holes so you have to use a wire to jump the connections to see which will power on the laptop.
