Question Acer Aspire ES1-531 motherboard button

[saltedm8]

I've been having trouble with the battery, but I found an odd button on the right of the motherboard that when pressed, makes the orange charging light work and it actually starts charging.. is this button a pressure button to make sure you don't try charging it without the keypad etc on?

I also seem to have a secondary problem that when I insert the battery (I tried one that has 30% charge) as soon as I disconnect it from the power cable, the laptop has no power despite obviously knowing the battery is there and it being detected.

Could be the Power button, useful when testing the motherboard before reassembling.

There is a power button, it sits under the top keyboard tray under the on button (plastic), this is something different
