Your macbook wont boot up at all? You have to be a bit more specific, is the screen not turning on?

Tell us exactly whats going on, but most likely no, if you start shorting out pins you risk messing something else up. But why do you think its the logic board?
 
I'm guessing shorting the switch... Don't know if it's directly connected to the logic board, mind you.

Lots of motherboards have the possibility to jumpsstart.... It's used to debugg errors.... I don't think it is the logic board, i hope it's just the topboard, but to test it i need another way to boot...
