elitedesk 800 g1 tower motherboard power harness has a jumper wire... ive never been able to find a pinout diagram... but going by how u referenced the pins where pin 1 is top left... it would be pins 1 and 3 are jumpered... i dont see a way to use the external switch without lots of trial and error and reconfiguring the pins to work without the jumper wire if thats possible

a cool idea too is if you grab a 12 volt relay wire it to the 12 volt out on the pc power supply then have it switch on the screen and other stuff. then everything will power on and off by that one button.

i have a g3 that has a button attached to the motherboard but im not sure if there are pins somewhere that could also be used to turn it on

The pin layout for this is different on different models of Elitedesk fyi.

I tried to install that on my ACEPC AK1 mini PC, but there was no power sw pin on the motherboard. Instead, I used Alexa Echo as my on/off switch, just by telling Alexa to turn on PC. I was modding my Arcade1up with the ACEPC, but didn't have a power switch.

But what if you have a HP EliteDesk 800 G2 or G3?

Thanks, but what was the point of the external power button if you wanted the pc to turn on/off via the power strip?
