NGL when it comes to that kind of fault I usually just replace the mainboard, they're usually dirt cheap and it's a hell of a lot easier to swap that whole board than it is to poke and prod for an hour just to find out it's some 40 pin monster with micro-soldiered pins.

The power board is usually what I do component level replacements on. The t-con board and the main board I usually just swap.
