Building New PC in 2023

Happy New Year to Everyone,


I encountered obstacles when searching high and low for a layout for the power button for a PowerMac g4. Does anyone have full detail of the wiring layout? I'm trying to build a PC for my wife and cannot find anyone with detailed schematics of how to wire the power button to a motherboard. If anyone has it please send it my way I would greatly appreciate it

Pinout and circuit for the G4 Sawtooth switch cable

Hi all, I've seen a few people ask for this over the years, but had not seen it posted. I was just going to bypass the switch etc. on my mod but looking at it it all looked pretty easy to work out with a multimeter. Here is the pic of the circuit itself: stock_board-4983_0.jpg Top tact...

I found this but it does not explain enough information about how he did it....https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/g4-power-switch-panel-pinout.417971/

If you have some tinkering skills, you can easily build your own. All you need are some micro switches and an LED and some cables. You can also use a preconfigured cable for the parts. Put all the parts aligned on a circuit board and here you go.

The pictures shows mine. But it has some additional electronics on the back, which are not relevant for your case. The bottom switch (positioned behind the programming button) is unused at the moment.
