Location of Power On Pads MBA 13" 2013

[carlsson]

Anyone know where the "power on pads" are located on the MacBook Air 13" 2013 logic board?

I have a non starting machine in front of me, just wanna try to hard start it before I take it to the shop.

Thanks!

Try a Google search under 2013 Power on Pads

Did that before I wrote this post. Couldn't find anything.

However, after a lot more googling I found this:

You have to short pin #5 on the keyboard ribbon cable with ground.

I don't have anything that small to short it, and there's still warranty on the machine so I'll take it to the shop tomorrow.

Thanks,
