<![CDATA[monitor power button unreachable]]>hey im looking for advice on how to fix a problem with my magicmirror monitor. so i have built a magicmirror as a christmas present and everything software side works but when i plug everything together the display doesnt automatically turn on, i have to press the monitors power button. but the problem is that the powerbutton is on the other side against the glass already stuck on and i cant rebuild it in time. i checked if i could use cec client to turn it on but my monitor doesnt support that. any other suggestions? thanks

When it powers up you should get a signal to power the monitor from the HDMI cable… check your pi settings also for autoboot

I was thinking either to be able to remove and relocate it perhaps, or to solder a switch or other solution in parallel to the existing one to put that somewhere accessible?
