You said that the only life signs were power and charging lights? Sounds similar to what happened to my JW. I don't know which chip on the mobo is the bios one and wheter it's changeable, so I replaced whole board. Now I am searching a way to flash right bios so that the GPU could be detected by the system. From what I have read, RoG G750j series models share nearby all internal components except GPU, if that makes it easier to find replacement parts.
