I am a qualified electronic engineer. I am also a qualified electrical

Bear in mind also, that the poster didn't actually say that it was a line
power switch. It may well be a low voltage standby switch. Many monitor '
power ' switches are.

Oh that's ok then. We'll have a low Voltage fire instead of a high
voltage fire!

Carry on bodging chaps!
