Turn on laptop without power button

[Gti]

Hello,

Model: huawei Matebook D16
OS: windows 11
Bios: InsydeH20 setup utility v 2.17.

The power button on my laptop does not work anymore. I manage to turn on the laptop by disconnecting the battery and plugin the charger. That s not practical since it means the laptop has to be plugged in all the time.
I’m looking for ways to turn on my laptop without using the power button.

First idea was to setup a random keyboard key to turn on the laptop. But I do not have this option in the bios.

Second idea was to have the laptop turn on when I open the lid. I created a power usage profile and, in the advanced settings, I set up the option activate display when lid opens. But it doesn’t work.
In my bios, i don’t have an option to enable “open lid wake up” or something similar.

The only option I have in bios is “other wakeup source” and that is set to enable.

Any idea on how i could fix my problem?
Any other way to turn on the laptop without using the power button?
Is there a way to update my bios to a version that has the “open lid wake up” option?

Thanks!

Hello

It may be possible to start your laptop by pressing a key.. But you will need to go into your bio’s and change that to key start..

Hi Veeg,
I do not have this option in my BIOS. The only option related to wake up option is “other wake up” source and that is already set to enable.

I would explore the possibility of taking it to a local repair shop and getting the button repaired.
