So basically I was checking Facebook and suddenly there was some weird noise coming out from the CPU fan (It was getting blocked) so what I did is I opened bthe hinge where my CPU fan is located and then cleaned the dust.
Here comes the important part
I tried to turn on my laptop but it didn't work.
So in no time I figured that the power button was destroyed because I messed up.
Now I found a alternative way for booting into Windows by pressing F5 (HP Quickweb) and then from there I could boot into Windows.
But now it shows a error stating that my files are corrupted. (When I press F5)
Now someone told me that you should go into the BIOS and then change the keys to power on to ctrl+ESC but for that I need a working power button.
Recently I checked this forum and it said that turning on a laptop (with the power key) without a hard drive will send them directly to the bios.
So if I remove my hard drive and then press F5 will anything happen?
Also is it safe?

Here's also a support document from HP about BIOS that may help.
