A20 A20P systemboard toggle switch soldering bypass shutdown

A20 A20x A20P
Soldering shutdown switch to bypass shutoff standby

Soldering shutdown switch to bypass shutoff switch that shuts laptop off when lid cover is closed (on sub card) AND switch that sends laptop into standby mode when Ultrabay lever is released (on system board.

Hello:

I went to replace the system board in my A20P, and noticed that two switches, one for shutting off the laptop if the lid / cover is closed AND the second switch for sending the laptop into standby if the ultrabay device lever is pulled out, both are missing, that is the plastic toggle and springs are missing.

The connectors are there, each consisting of three metal blades.

I would like to short the switches out and leave them that way.

Does anyone know which of the metal blades need to be soldered to short them out in the ON position?

Thanks
