Is this a good question?

Power and battery-status light/hard-drive activity light - Indicates the power and battery‑charge status. I have a Dell computer I purchased in 2005. It has worked great and I have had no issues. All of this sudden, this morning, the power button won't work. I push it and push it and nothing but a yellow flashing light (the button flashes yellow). I unplugged everything and plugged it all back in twice and finally got the power button to work. Asus Computer Turning on But Screen Stays Black / Not Working DIY Video - Duration: 12:50.

You may be able to fix it with some very fine soldering. If you post one or two close-up photos of the break, any other buttons or LEDs supplied by the same ribbon and the socket the ribbon connects to we may be able to advise better.
Or maybe you could get a 'spares or repair' laptop of the same model cheaply on eBay and replace the whole palm rest.
I have a Dell 6400, and the power button has trouble working sometimes, I was wondering if there is anyway to swap its function with a some of the buttons I don't use, like the front media buttons or the MediaDirect button (which also turns the laptop on but in a low-level media-only mode). Or to fix the laptop power button itself?
Thank you so much, I tried to google this one out and looked for software, but I guess this is more of a hardware issue? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated : )
This is what the laptop looks like:

I agree with the osther comments from Molly and Niek but would add one thing.
I have seen some Latitude D820/830 that get some dirt or something under the power button and then work sometimes and not others. Have you removed the cover that runs just below the screen (assuming it is same, can't find a parts diagram)and had a look at the actual button that is usually at the top of the main board?

there is no software solution, your only hope is soldering.
As Molly said, there would be no software solution for this.

Is this laptop still under warranty? If so, please do consider sending it in. In most cases, they should be able to fix this for you for free. (However, please do make backups of all your important data before sending it in. Some factories format all machines (or even replace the harddrives) by policy before even beginning on hardware work)
Otherwise, I am afraid the only way would indeed be by soldering.

if bios supports hotkey power on but might drain battery faster because it would have to supply power to the keyboard even when it's off
