Modding Key Lock

i think it'd be cool to have a keylock...I dont have the key for this one, but I'd go buy a new one. where does the thing plug into though? somewhere on the mobo???

 

by the looks of is it plugs into the power header on the mobo where the on/off switch plugs into mobo and u take out the power switch so it doesnt work, wouldn't take a lot to start tho, just rip off the side and hook up a normal switch i wouldn't use that if you want security, if u want coolness then go for it

 

AT boards (remember those?) had a header for that, it would lock the keyboard and mouse as I recall, I never used mine at all.

You could use it to interrrpt the power button, so it would require a key plus the power button to fire up your peecee...

 

1st para: yup old mobos had special headers... were really b4 my time

2nd para: I thinking of doing it to lock out power switch too... possibly reset too if i bother to think of a way to do it

 

pretty sure my mb still has one... i'd have to consult that strange thing called a manual though

 

:rofl: LOL. yea actually this is out of a realllllly old pc. which is now in pieces on my living room floor

also, theres a Connector not being used by a plug right above the PWR_LED...it says GRN_LED, whats that?

 

could be the led for the turbo button or summat.

 

yeah i think that is for another led

 

i kinda figured out that much on my own

 

GRN = Green = enviromently friendly = suspend mode maybe ?

My mobo has the header for a keylock.

 

mine has a header for a smart card reader, just need to find one now
