    Is It possible to turn the computers power on wirelessly


    I don't know whether this would matter If I'm asking this question In a windows 7 forum \ Linux forum whatever but I am running 7.

    Say If I open up my desktop computer and do something\add something to the wireing of the power button , would I then be able to turn my computer with A wireless controller or even from my portable laptop that I use by clicking an aplication on my desktop that will then turn on my desktops power.

    Is anything or has anyone ever made this possible?

Hi, This is a non-urgent question. It's just a power led not lighting up. It's a friend's PC. He told me it used to power up when the PC was new, but after he took it to a service tech it didn't turn on when it came back, neither did the HD led. Well the HD led did turn on, it was just that...
