I have the case open and some sewing pins touching the pads of the motherboard as per the non-soldering method. It's ready to go but I don't know how to turn it on now. I see where the power switch must be, and I see the plastic button on the case, but I don't see how it activates the power.

Is there some trick to it? If not, I'll have to just solder some wires, but I'd rather not as the soldering pads are very small and my hands are not very steady.

2015 Paperwhite 3.

Thanks!
