I have a PS3 slim that won't turn on, unfortunately my Power/eject button and ribbon cable are completely removed from my PS3. Can I turn it on without the button/ribbon cable?

I replaced the entire psu but without a standby light I have no idea if I'm close to powering it on. I suppose I could get a multimeter but I don't know what I'm testing. Any info would be appreciated.
