Laptop Auto Power-On / Turn-On Module

Yeah, I think I found the problem. The wires to the jack were coming in contact with the edge of a heat shield and I am thinking that this is where my short was. when pulled away from it, there is no continuity. I will wrap the wires to prevent the problem and we'll see if this gets it.

Thanks.

steve,

just fitted your kit to the laptop, works a treat!

soldered to the switch, and your button switches it on/off ok, does that mean when i wire it into the ignition it will do the same?

Thanks!

It's going in a Dell latitude C640, I've been thinking about getting a docking station from ebay, but I don't think I need to should be easy to get to the leads on the laptop.

All the modules should be shipping out early tomorrow. I ran out of heat shrink and don't wanna half-*** the modules, so I'm running to radio shack tomorrow morning (damn UPS being slow with my parts shipment)...

But Thanks
