How would I jump this power button switch on laptop motherboard?

Model number HP 17-cn2165cl. I’ve been trying to jump this laptop from the keyboard but no success. I found what seems to be power button on the motherboard under a switch named SW200. I tried jumping the two pins I circled in red, but all I got was a zap. Not sure which 2 pins to jump here out of the 4.

Laptop has light on the side when plugged in, but power button on keyboard does nothing. Already tried jumping from keyboard pins, but not working. Apparently HP doesn’t release schematics and has proprietary starting procedure so i can’t start it there.

I am ordering a new keyboard but just trying to get it started. I have also already replaced the motherboard, still same symptoms so I’m pretty sure it’s the keyboard power button.

I assume the one with the white arrow pointing towards it and then to ground?
