I can’t be sure until I desolder the button but it seems like it broke while being closed so it would immediately turn the laptop off when it would turn on.

Regardless of the color the wiring - HyperX headsets seem to always be wired as TRRS CTIA style: (You can usually find out on the product documentation page) Below is how I wired the HyperX Stinger Core with the color wires as reference.
