Where are the Power Pads for MacBook 12" A1534
Where are the Power Pads for Macbook 12" A1534?
I added the ifixit images too, cause the quality is much better
Is this a good question?

@yuna here is the location of the power-on pads.
You should not have to use those if you follow the advise given by @mayer

To do a reset without the power pads (which I don't know where are), disconnect the charger, disconnect the battery from the logic board, press and hold the power on button for 5 seconds, reconnect the battery then the charger and you should get a spontaneous reboot.

@yuna post some good pictures of your logicboard with your question. Use Adding images to an existing question this guide for that. That way we can see what you see and could try to identify the pads for you.

In a forum was written that Pins 5 and 29 on the keyboard connector could be the power pins... am an not sure how much damage i do when i just try random connections.... don't even know were pin 1 starts and Pin z ends....

As @mayer said, this model will boot as soon as you plug the charger in, no matter if it has the battery connected or not (after disconnecting the battery first). There has been no need to use power pads to boot a MacBook logic board since the Core 2 Duo days

@Reece, so when my power button is broken, i always have to unplug the battery and reconnect the charger? this would be much effort. :(
