Posted March 23 Is jumpstarting safe? To turn the pc off, should I use the switch on the psu? Will it damage the parts? If I do jumpstart it, do I put the screwdriver in between the two pins I circled? Will these screwdrivers work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 23 2 minutes ago, JDP said: Is jumpstarting safe? Yes. As long as you are reasonably careful to not bend the pins (if you do, you can just bend them back). 4 minutes ago, JDP said: To turn the pc off, should I use the switch on the psu? If there's no OS yet, sure. If you already installed the OS, use the power switch/pins, or shut down using the OS. It won't damage anything that is hardware. 5 minutes ago, JDP said: If I do jumpstart it, do I put the screwdriver in between the two pins I circled? Yes. 5 minutes ago, JDP said: Will these screwdrivers work? Most likely. English is not my first language, so please excuse any confusion or misunderstandings on my end.

Posted March 23 15 minutes ago, JDP said: Is jumpstarting safe? Yes 15 minutes ago, JDP said: To turn the pc off, should I use the switch on the psu? It's usually preferred to shut it down through Windows or press and hold the power button (or keep those pins connected), but shutting off the PSU works as well. 15 minutes ago, JDP said: Will it damage the parts? Only if you scratch the board with whatever you're using to jump the motherboard, and even then only if it's deep. 15 minutes ago, JDP said: If I do jumpstart it, do I put the screwdriver in between the two pins I circled? Yes. 15 minutes ago, JDP said: Will these screwdrivers work? Yes. Anything metal will do. Screw drivers are probably the most common, but I've also used knives, coins, keys, paper clips, and even a RAM heat spreader at one point just because they were the closest metal thing to me at the time I needed to jump the board.

Posted March 23 1 minute ago, JDP said: Is turning off the psu the only way to turn the pc off after a jumpstart No, You can just short the power pins again, and if the PC doesn't have an OS, it will shut back down. If it has an OS, you just short the pins for 5 seconds to force a shutdown. English is not my first language, so please excuse any confusion or misunderstandings on my end.

Posted March 23 Just now, JDP said: Is turning off the psu the only way to turn the pc off after a jumpstart No, jumping it again for 10 seconds will also turn it off, or you can turn it off from an OS if you boot into one of those. Just now, JDP said: will turning it off damage anything? Turning off the PSU won't damage any of the hardware, though if you're booted into Windows, it can on rare occasions break Windows installs. It's not something you need to be too worried about, but if you can turn it off through the OS that's usually preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
