Grimoire, I did JUST this to my laptop about 4 hours ago. What you have to do is solder wires piggyback on the button that is surface mounted to your motherboard. Generally the power button on your laptop connects a long plastic stick to a small button that is soldered to the mother board. This button normally has four metal pins (the two pins on each side are connected to eachother, so it's really only two active pins. There are four for structural stability). You have to solder two wires to the two halves of the switch. These two wires are now just another intermittent contact switch in parallel. I haven't connected mine to a button yet, but when I touch the wires together, the laptop powers up and shuts down.
