Hello, I hope very much that somebody could take the time to help me, I have a chromebook laptop that I need to be always on as long as there is power. At the moment you have to push the microswitch button for it to start after a power outage.
I suspect that a few cents worth of components will save me needing to spend hundreds of dollars on a computer that has the option to start up on power restore.
I was thinking that on power restore voltage will be supplied to the switch, and that will be a signal to send a pulse of voltage to the return side of the switch, then the computer will start. It needs to only do this once because if another signal is sent it will turn the computer off. Then it needs to reset when power is lost.
How would I go about designing this? does it sound plausable?
