I think you need to start by tracing the voltage from the DC connector into
the motherboard. Most of the power management circuitry is around that area
too.
Measure the voltage at the various electrolytic capacitors and see what you
get.
Test the dual colour LED for the power monitor to see it is actually working
by checking the forward voltage of the two diodes.
Do let us know what you find.
Joel.
