your making way to much of this.... just guess at any 2 pins... touch them momentarily.... if the PC starts your good, if not, try another combo.... there is no way you can damage it buy doing this.... the switch has one ground & one of the pins are looking for ground to start... that's it.... there is no power at the switch on any laptop I've ever modded....

if your paranoid about trying this method then pick up a tiny one amp fuse to use inline of your jumper, or test for any power at the switch.... theres no reason too, but this may make you feel a little more comfortable doing this.....
