How to power up MacBook without power switch?

My power switch doesn't work but It will take a few weeks before I'll be able get a new one.

I was looking for a way to turn it on from the logic board, until I get the new keyboard, but I couldn't find how to do it on my model.

Can anyone help me here?

Thanks a lot

Be aware that if you power up the machine using the power pads and then connect the top case while the machine is powered you could generate a short that could fry the logic board. Instead use an external keyboard and a mouse until you install the new top case.

Look at the picture in this link. You should be able to short across the 2 solder points and it will start up if in fact the power button is the issue. What color macbook is it i may have one for you?

the power pin is the leftmost one from the bottom row. you can use the fan surface as the ground

the diagram is attached on the bottom
