Solved PC not starting

Hey

So i've had this issue for quite some time and now that I am a Comp Sc student I really want to at least give it a try.

So it's simple, about 4 years ago, while playing, my Asus Rog GL553VD suddenly stopped working for no apparent reasons.

I sent it to a repairman who himself sent it to a welder. Sadly, they weren't able to fix it and told me to send it to a more specialized center in Bruxelles (Belgium).

I never did because after emailing the specialized center they told they didn't work on these devices anymore.

In other words, I had no way to repair my computer...

So I tried opening my computer myself to first collect my ssd and hardrive and put it on my other pc but mainly to find out if there wasn't anything suspicious inside it. Yeah I was a bit optimistic but guess what! I didn't find anything aha.

I just realized a weird little clicking sound whenever I tried turning on the pc with the charger in. I also saw a part where it seems a bit weird.

Here are some pictures:



And the little weird thing I found:


Sorry for the quality, I know you won't be able to find out anything from them but at least you see the general scene aha.

Here are some other info:

- When charger in no light shows
- We tried replacing the cable between the power button and the motherboard, didn't work
- The clicking sound is active whenever the charger is in and the power button has been pressed. I also just heard right now that when I am really close to the motherboard I can hear a weird scratch sound coming from the part of the last photo. We might have a clue here!

If you have any way on how to fix it, I would be really grateful. I also know that replacing the motherboard might be the best solution but it costs a lot...

Thanks!

Edit:

After some verifications, I found out that the last picture actually shows a "rubber" thing, so nothing important I guess. The clicking sound is still here but I might suspect the scratch sound to be from the speakers, but I am not sure...

Edit:

I just found out that just under the last key I pressed before the pc died, it seems like there is something missing:



It seems like there is some old glue there as if something had been taken-off.

If anyone has a clue It would be awesome. If you know a good hardware guy maybe you could ask him/her to help me?

Edit:

I searched for the motherboard and I found this one (https://www.empowerlaptop.com/p/asus-gl553vd-gl553vw-zx53vw-zx53vm-motherboard/) it appears that it is normal that there is nothing in the orange square in the last photo, so the problem doesn't come from there...

Edit:

I went to another repair shop who actually fixed this in about 2 hours. It costed about 200€ but that guy is really competent so I am happy with it

The problem was some motherboard short-circuit, that had to be of course repaired.

The pc is fine and so is my problem solved
