Answer 1

First, I would like to warn you that triggering your power supply manually too often will damage it over time.

That being said, look for a green cable, then jumper it (easiest to do this with a bent-out paper-clip) to the next black one toward the centre. For a diagram, visit http://www.duxcw.com/faq/ps/ps4.htm.

Answer 2

Locate the rocker switch on the rear of your computer near the power supply fan. This switch controls the electrical current (off/on) to the power supply.

NOTE: *If your computer isn't powering on or off by using the front panel power switch, two possible conditions exist:
1.) The front panel power switch may be defective.
2.) The power supply may be defective.

In either instance, have the unit diagnosed by a qualified technician.

*****************CAUTION************************
"UNLESS YOU ARE A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN, NEVER ATTEMPT TO DIS-ASSEMBLE, JUMPER, SERVICE OR MODIFY A POWER SUPPLY."

Among other components, power supplies have capacitors which store electrical charges. These charges pose a risk of serious injury or death.

The servicing or dis-assembly of power supplies should only be done by qualified technicians.
