Never turn off Windows

My Surface has an issue with the power button; it doesn't make contact properly. To turn it on, I have to try clicking it often for more than 10 minutes before it powers on.
Fixing it is as expensive as buying a new one. I turned off battery saver, but it happens it turns off and I cannot turn it on again. The only way is for it to go sleep and click some keys on the keyboard to turn it "on" again.
How can it never turn off (only when the battery is at 0%)?

Unfortunately, Surface devices are very difficult to repair.
If you have another computer, you could use
Wake-on-LAN (WoL)
via your local network to wake it up from that computer.
Some routers also have the capability to issue WoL.
This is not an ideal solution, but it can enable using the Surface
for some time.
Download and install SurfaceWOL.msi from the
Microsoft Download Center - Surface Tools for IT
to enable WoL on the Surface.
The Surface device must be connected to AC power and connected to the
network using its Ethernet adapter for WoL to work.
To wake the Surface, you may use a
PowerShell script,
a Windows Store app,
or any other third-party tool, such as
SolarWinds.
You will need your Surface MAC address, which you can find using the
command ipconfig /all.
For information see:
Wake On LAN for Surface devices
by Microsoft.
How to enable Wake-On-Lan on Surface devices on Windows 10
Supplies the same information as the Microsoft link, but with more detail
and screenshots.

If you want your system never to be turned off, the solution is simple: keep it plugged and running 24/7.
However, I suggest fixing the power button or buying a new system. The electricity costs will outweigh in the long run, solving the problem.

The easiest way to achive it, is to use a mouse-mover-program which moves your mouse every couple of minutes one pixel forward and back. i think you can find some
on google, but try to get it from secure sources, or if possible, code it by yourself.
The other way is to setup your BIOS and/or OS-settings.
