For this model I believe the power on pads (marked with a power icon) are located below the fan:

You can just solder a basic button & two wires to those and you’re set.

I'm just thinking you get a [button like this](https://www.amazon.com/Twidec-Normal-Mom...) and attach each wire to a pad. A bit pricey, too bad RadioShack went out of business lol — you've gotta be careful though, make sure you don't short out anything else on the board, it's small stuff you're working with.

@jonaharagon ok where does the red and black wire go on the pads or does it matter which side and also what side on the switch thanks
