How to manually start up the MacBook, without using the power button.

I spilled some coffee the other day on my laptop (yes, another idiot of many to spill a beverage over w macbook.) and now my computer wont start up. So what i want to do is to start up the computer by opening it up by bypassing the logic board, so i heard that you could connect to power pads using a paperclip. This is a picture of the inside ofy macbook, if possible could you clearly describe which pads i should connect or even send me a picture with the powerpads circled that i need to connect. Thanks!
