There is not. I have had my Keyboard replaced twice because of this issue. Check out this Article from Apple: https://support.apple.com/keyboard-service-program-for-mac-notebooks
Answer to "SMC reset without power button" Jul 23, 2020
The touchID is also a button. Make sure you are holding the Shift on the right side of the keyboard.
Answer to "iPhone 8 plus home button not "clicking" after screen replacement." Jan 29, 2020
Have you tried a Hard Reset? • Hold the Home Button and Volume Down until you see the Apple Logo. I have done this with success on the iPhone 8, presuming it will work on an iPhone 7 as well.

Answer to "iPhone 7 plus touch id not working after screen replacement" Sep 13, 2018
Check out this Thread. Touch ID Not Working After Screen Replacement Unfortunately, Apple has a monopoly on this technology and usually has to do with the Home Button. I have done 3 repairs on 7’s and 2 failed to recognize the home button. I have not seen it fixed with an iOS update or complete restart.

Answer to "Help identifying the CORRECT Logic Board Part #" Jun 30, 2016
Here is your part. MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Mid 2014) 2.6 GHz Logic Board
Answer to "screen has boxes and I cannot open" Jun 30, 2016
If you just replaced the screen the connections may not be seated correctly.
Answer to "iPhone display dead spot after water damage" Jun 14, 2016
Unfortunately, looking at the pic you provided the screen is done. There is/was still water on the inside that the rice could not get at. This is what further damaged the iPhone. Luckily you can replace the screen but, in my experience, you may experience other issues.
Answer to "Touch ic problems iPhone 6plus" Jun 14, 2016
Screen could possibly been replaced. It is known to happen that the Touch ID will stop working once a screen is replaced. Part of the deal made when the lawsuit happened over Error 53 (source: TechCrunch).
