Jump starting psu

Ok, this should give you all a laugh. I have a second psu which I am using to power the water pump/fans.

Well to jump start a psu you have to short two wires right? Well I was thinking of using a switch to turn it on and off. I headed off to Maplin and got a nice red button push switch.... wired up and soldered, push the button... nothing happens.

After a few mins of head scratching I press and hold the red button, sodding works.... so if anyone needs to jump start a psu with a switch, you need a sodding toggle switch!!
