Anyone have any ideas on how to manually power on a laptop that has no power button? My device's power button is on a board that is connected by a ribbon cable. Unfortunately, the ribbon cable is broken and needs to be replaced. Is there any alternative in turning on my device?
I already tried holding the F9/F10/F11/F12 keys while plugging the device onto an AC adapter but did not boot up.
