It’s a tricky situation. Jumping start the PSU while still connected to the motherboard could cause power surges or damage components, potentially leading to hardware issues or system instability. Always disconnect before attempting any repairs.

All systems interlink and cutting power from the pins causes the machine to activate just like pressing the power switch. That’s the intended behavior.
