GL-551JW will not boot

I have a GL-551JW that I'm unable to boot now.

When you hit the power button the red light comes on on the power button, as well as the lights above the light bulb icon and the Airplane mode light. Nothing else happens. No drive noises (though there are no spinny drives). The only way the lights go back out is to remove the battery. I'm sure the keyboard works as it responds to the power button by lighting the mentioned lights when hit. There was no damage to laptop, the wife was using it for work and it worked fine one night when she shut it down, and wouldn't boot the next morning.

I've done the following already, nothing has changed the behavior:
* Replaced the CMOS battery, the main battery, and the power supply.
* tried to boot with just power supply
* tried to boot without all drives and/or ram (looking for beep codes, there were none)
* tried an external monitor

Any other ideas for troubleshooting/fixes?
