Start computer through keyinput? Friday, April 07, 2006 11:59 PM (permalink)

Hi everyone, I've been trying to find out how to start my computer by writing a password on my keyboard (and disabling the powerbutton).
 
I don't know if the computer is physically shutted down before I write my "password", how could it registry the keyinput if its "dead"?
 
It could be some sort of fake. Like; you'll be redirected to the "cmd" when the computer is "shutted down" and from there you write a password.
 
I know I'ts possible to do it, my friend had it once.
 
Ideas/suggestions/"revelations"?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
(I'm sorry if im writing in the wrong forum.)

    I don't think it is possible to start a completely powered down computer from the keyboard. The only possiblity that I could think of would be a UPS that monitors the keyboard and sends a wake-on-lan signal when a certain series of keys is pressed. I've never heard of such a thing but it is the only way that I can conceive of it.
