We will start the discussion with preventive measures before damage occurs, by activating the settings in the BIOS so that... laptops can be turned on by using the button keyboards.

The activation method is also quite simple. You only need to open the BIOS, then look for the “Power Management Setup” tab. Once open, look for the “USB Wake Up from S3” option, and make sure this option is on “Enable”.

After that, also look for the option that says “Power On By Keyboard”, and change it to “Any KEY”. This way, the laptop can be turned on without having to go through the power button alone, but can be done through any key input!

We only recommend this method if your laptop is really dead. However, if you do not dare to execute it yourself, it is highly recommended to ask for help/use professional services.

This also only applies to ASUS/Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Toshiba laptops. Apart from these laptop brands, you can only do this process by first activating the settings in the BIOS.

The way is, namely removing the battery, then connecting the laptop device to the charger that is already connected to the electric current (power outlet). This can automatically turn on your laptop without having to press any buttons.

If this method does not work then there are only two possibilities that you need to consider, as follows:

  • There is a high probability that there is a short circuit in the power button. So, you need to disassemble the laptop, and unplug the power button connector that is connected to the motherboard;
  • If this method still doesn't work, it means that the problem you are experiencing is not with the power button, so you need to look for other sources that might be causing the problem.

Curative: Keep Laptop in Sleep Mode

And the third way will be curative, keeping the laptop that has a broken power button so that it can still be used. This can be done if you haven't had time to take the laptop to a service center for repair.

Suppose the laptop that has died due to a broken button can finally be turned back on (without going through the two methods above), then so that you can continue using it, you don't have to turn it off (shut it down).

As we know, by keeping it in Sleep state, the laptop will easily turn on just by providing input, either by pressing the keyboard button or clicking the mouse.
