I am a handicap veteran who has no use of my arms or hands. I have a working HP envy laptop. This may sound crazy, but, I was wondering if there was a way to be able to turn on my laptop without having to have someone else press the power button. My power button is not broken. It works just fine. I would just like to be able to turn on my laptop all by myself. I have been searching the Internet for solutions to this question. All I have found, is basically how to fix a broken power button. I was just wondering if this is a possibility. I currently have a head tracking system as well as Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Both have allowed me to do everything on my laptop with the exception of powering it on. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you.
