Asus G533VD dead mobo?

[FlameBrand]

Quick backstory. Laptop suddenly died while at work. I tried replacing the charger, no led or activity. Tried sending it in for a repair under warranty. Asus requires me to send in an invoice before granting the repair. I purchased it on ebay and they dont allow PayPal receipts as proof of purchase so my warranty is SOL.

SO!
Laptop has no activity what-so-ever.
No charging led
Does nothing when I press power

Things I have done:
Reseated RAM
Removed optical drive
Removed HDD
Unplugged battery

Nothing helped.

Took a multimeter out. Charger reads 19.8v. Charger is good.

Everything circled reads 19.8v. Motherboard is getting power.

Now I am stumped as to what to look for. Someone suggested a DIY reflow with a heat gun. I have done this method before with PS3 motherboards and I don't see how that could help since I believe that is mainly for GPU issues.

Here is the front and back of my mobo. Are there any specific spots I could test with the multimeter besides the ones I found? I just dont know where else to go from here.

Hi, I could help you find the defective component, but you will need depending on which component is defective, a soldering iron or a hot air station to remove the component.

I would absolutely love your help. I have done soldering before but I am not familiar at all with how to follow electrical trails and pinpointing the faulty component.

On the first image (26yFtcd), I need to see more chips near the dc connector but not too wide. On the third picture (JuLJoU), I need to see what is under the black plastic, just raise it to the side.
