Power up without internal keyboard

Hi,

I recently spilled liquid on my MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2009. It will only turn on if I disconnect the keyboard ZIF connector. Too bad the power button is part of the broken keyboard. Is there any way to "jump start" that model?

For older and newer MBPs I have found information regarding how to do that (always shorting to pads on the logic board). Where are those pads on the logic board of my model?

Best Benjamin

Thanks. For the pre-unibody MBPs this task was quite easy. But the newer models have no markings on the PCB.
