touch the pins with screwdriver(french screwdriver or something else to make a closed circuit), i think its the third and forth pins make them connect to eachothers to power on (its ok if you tried 3 pins or more your will laptop will work fine).

Unfortunately, this has come to a process of elimination to Identify the Issue.

I'd be very Interested In reading the cause & fix.

Yes, updating the BIOS does fix Issues similar to this.

Does It fail to boot In Its entirety?

i don't think it even reaches post, keystrokes doesn't output anything (no sound or graphics). However Win+B just makes it stop somtimes

It sounds like a hardware-related Issue.

You'll have to eliminate your troubleshooting one step at a time.
