Hey this is my first post on any forum so go easy.

 

Basically i plan on turning my asus eee pc 1005ha into a mini arcade machine i so i was wandering if i could have an external power button that will power on the laptop? 

havnt opened it up yet but would it be anything like wireing computer case buttons or is the power button soldered onto the motherboard?
