Okay, here's the deal. Using a laptop as the computer. Took it apart, found the button, used a multimeter and determined the following. THe button has 4 leads. When the button is up, each pair goes straight across while when it is pressed down, they switch. Please see the attached diagram. It is horrible, but it gets the job done.
Now, I want to relocate the button so it's in my dash, so I can boot the computer when I want and turn it off when I want. I have this button from Radio Shack:

Can I use this button to replace the one in the "schematic"? If so, how? If not, what kind of button do I need? THanks!
