Title:

Where are the power pads?

Text:

Any chance you can upload the picture again? I need to jump start because seems like the power button is broken. Thanks.
== Update ==
Not sure is the same motherboard. I have a a1286 model, it's actually a mid 2009 MCP. here's the pic of the logic board.
== Update ==
I'm not sure if the image uploaded successfully on iFixit, but found your email and want to make sure you get it.
My assumption is that based on my picture, once I remove the Keyboard ribbon I would count 5, from TOP down on my PIC and short with ground on the logic board.
Let me know if this accurate, I hope this will turn it back on, if it does, all I need to do is buy the keyboard as this is the one that powers on the laptop.
Thanks,
Audel

+ This did the trick for me, I was able to power on the Macbook. Now I will only need to order the keyboard as this is not working properly and also holds the power button.
