To George, the original poster.
You computer turns on when you momentarily short two pins on the motherboard.
(The power-on button does that function when you press it).
I guess you could make a timer switch that at a given time would momentarily (key word is
momentarily) close a connection. then wire this timer switch to the appropriate pins on the
motherboard.
Check your motherboard manual for which two pins to short.
right-click your desktop and select properties. Then slect the
"screen saver" tab. Then clikc the "power" button (somthing like
that). then you have options in there, I might suggest to select a
time for hibernation and/or the "turn off disk" bunction. when your
computer hibernates it is pretty much off and just hitting a keyboard
key will bring'er back up.
Not true at all. When the computer is hibernating, all power is off. Hitting
a keyboard key
will NOT bring'er back up. If in 'sleepmode' a keyboard can bring it back
up.
When in hibernation if connected to a LAN it can be brought back up by the
host system via
the BIOS wake on LAN.
Work was being done on waking the computer at a specific time also but I
don't know
the success of that yet.
