PLEASE HELP TO LOCATE THE POWER JUMPER ON A MACBOOK 2013 13" Retina DISPLAY

Where are the power-on jumpers on a mid-2013 MacBook Pro logic board?

I’m trying to locate the power-on jumpers on the logic board of Early-2013 13" MacBook Pro Retina Display. I have disassembled and cleaned all components after I had a liquid spill on the KB, I found out the liquid spill didn’t have enough time to reach the logic board and computer seems to be charging ok. I suspect the keyboard is damaged but want to start computer to run a systems check.

vlajimmy jean, most of the newer models do not use jumper pads. You have to shorten two contacts on the keyboard connector. Lets see if we can find out which ones. It should be connector 5 shortened to ground.
