When I was younger I had a computer where the front fell off and stripped the wires from the button.

To turn it on and off I had to hold the wires together, felt like I was hot wiring a car every time.

Kinda the same here but one day I noticed it also worked by simply touching the case with one of the wires and that's how I did it from here.
