hp pavilion 15-b102sp
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi there! I am using windows 10 64bits in a HP Pavillion 15b-102sp, and with time buttons start to malfunction, this is the case with my power up button that has showed signs of not wanting to work latelly.

 

So my question is more towards a possible bypass in case the button malfunctions for a broader range of time. So basically a secondary method of powering up the laptop, since not being able to use the laptop on the account of something this trivial would be quite frustating.

I am in a small private network and the computer access the WiFi though a not so closeby WPA, so a wake up on LAN bypass would not work, and neither a PS/2 keyboard since a laptop doesn't come with that port, any ideas?? 

 

i just don't want to lose the laptop on a button, or otherwise buy a new button circuit.

 

A preemptive Thanks!!

Lord

Sorry, but you've done your research and already answered your question by ruling out the alternatives.

 

At this point, the power button is the only way to power on the laptop.
