I like how confidently he gives us instructions as if we are all going to really do it ourselves.

Just FYI, although most laptop motherboards don't have physical power buttons on them, many do actually have the space for one, so they can have one added for testing/diagnostics in the factory. E.g. at 3:03 you can see an empty space labelled TP_PWR_SW1 to the top right of the keyboard connector - that's probably it, and of course you could test it in the same way. Finding that and soldering a wire to its 3.3V pad would generally be quicker, easier and with a more reliable connection than using the keyboard connector.
