Abstract
A mechanism of one embodiment of the invention is disclosed that disconnects an electronic device from a power source includes a user-actuable switch, an electronically controllable switch, and a feedback mechanism. The electronically controllable switch couples the power source to the electronic device. The feedback mechanism turns on and off the electronically controllable switch in response to actuation of the user-actuable switch.
