I’ve encountered an issue where the two layers of the keyboard’s power-on button are constantly short-circuiting, sending both shutdown and power-on signals to the EC. I’m wondering if there’s any way to deactivate this behavior and instead solder a button directly to the power-on pin on the motherboard. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to locate the specific pin or find any schematics to guide me in this process. Would the best solution be to simply replace the keyboard?
I also tried soldering a button directly to the GND and the 5th EC pin, but it didn’t work due to interference from the power-on keyboard layer

I’m asking this because I’m 100% confident that by soldering a button to the EC, it will take the keyboard logic into account
