Hello, I have an Aspire E15 with a dysfunctional power key. The power key's keycap and keyswitch have fallen off and it is very difficult to turn on the laptop with the remaining components. Even when they were in place, the laptop sometimes required me to press them many times to turn on. I have no experience or tools for computer repair and I am not in a position to find a repair shop any time soon.
Basically, my question is whether there is another way to turn on the laptop. After searching for an answer on other sites, I have found that some laptops can be turned on by opening the lid or pressing another key, after a bit of fiddling with the BIOS system. However, these tutorials don't seem to be working for my laptop, since its BIOS doesn't have a "power on by keyboard" or "power on while open lid" option. Is there any alternative power-on option available which does not require dismantling the laptop?
