I think only the TX mediator features a Hardware Reset/Power switch...

My 1200 in Infinitiv tower case has a reset switch on the case but nowhere to connect to either  :crazy:

I have to use the standrad Amiga nerve pinch to reset it  :lol:

You can connect the reset switch to pins 9&0 of TP1 (requires soldering the headers).

 The TP1 is, like the name says, test pins.

 They are in the leftmost point of the motherboard, under the PCMCIA connector.

 What you need is join TP1 pins 9 & ten to provide a hardware reset to the Amiga. They are the two leftmost "solder isles" on any A1200.

where is located TP1 on the mobo or on the mediator?

TP1 is located on the mobo right below the PCMCIA port.

On untowered 1200s you might need to bend the new headers before soldering to fit the keyboard.
