I spilled on my Acer Nitro 5 Laptop, and its keyboard is completely dead, i checked the tracers from the power button to the end, and there it got erased or stripped at an intersection. So basically i have no power button, is there any way to power my device on?

    I would not suggest to power it on, as the liqud may be in the MB already. Best solution is to bring it to a service center where the damage caused by the liquid will be removed/repaired  by a proffesional.

    I've opened it plenty of times, the motherboard and any other stuff werent damaged, just the motherboard. And i would take it to a service center, but the pandemic situation is real bad for our country so there are no service centers available, but i want to try and find a way since i need it for online learning.

    In that case if you trust yourself to entire disassemle the laptop you can open it and clean the connectors and replace the keyboard(you have to order new KB).

    Alright, i kinda knew thats where it will head. I was hoping for there to be some kind of way to turn it on though so i could set up a Wake on Lan, and turn it on remotely.

    This same thought came in to my mind the first time I saw your issue, but since I don`t know which connection to shorten I preffered not to mention it :)
