W.meri's Break A Leg without the Challenge

Power Button Helper

Ever needed to troubleshoot a motherboard outside of a case and don’t have a spare power button hanging around? I know it’s possible to just use a screwdriver or what have you to bridge the contacts, but god forbid you drop the screwdriver. Also, buttons are easier.

I popped in a spot for an LED as well. Power LEDs are handy ↓

I used the layout for Omron B3F switches. They’re tiny and of good quality ↓

It’s literally the size of my index finger ↓

Partially soldered (forgot which box my LEDs are in). Was thinking a couple of the empty holes would be nice to use for stabilizing some 3D printed button caps and the other holes for mounting to a 3D printed case ↓
