I'm having trouble with the power button on my ASUS TUF A15—it's not working properly. I need to find an alternative method to turn it on from a full shutdown or hibernation. I've looked through the BIOS, but it seems very limited. I couldn't find an option for 'Restore on AC Power Loss' to start it up when plugging in the charger. Additionally, the Wake-on-LAN settings in Device Manager are grayed out, and there are no options for 'Power On by PCI-E' or similar features in the BIOS. Are there any software, firmware, or hardware solutions available that would allow me to power this laptop on without using the power button?

You might want to check if your laptop has a removable power button. Sometimes these can be replaced individually, which could solve your problem. If you can't find a replacement, there are some motherboard mods where users short specific pins on the keyboard connector to power on the laptop—though this can be risky and may void any warranty. Just be careful!
