on the front of the motherboard there is a test point labeled PWSW, solder one side of a momentary switch to that and the other side to any given ground.

ignore the watermark....its not even a site anymore lol, you dont have to use the GND point i used but its an easy one, just scratch away a small area on the main ground plate and there you have it
