Hello everyone

About a month ago I was browsing the web with my laptop and left it on a few minutes to get some breakfast, when I got back the laptop was completely off and the charger was also off (no green LED). I noticed that the moment I plugged the charger to the laptop the charger's LED would go off and since I do not use the laptop battery it would not power on. After some research I learned that the problem could be a short in the motherboard; I removed the motherboard and also removed everything (HDD, RAM, GPU, DVD Drive, fan) and the charger would still behave the same. I carefully inspected the motherboard and could not find anything broken or burnt but this pins that are located directly behind the external SATA port (Image link below).

I already tried the charger in another G50V and worked ok, also tried using a fully charged battery and still would not work and also the DC jack appears to be ok.

My question is: Could this possibly be causing my laptop's failure?

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, have a great day.

Solution
Never know, and that question is an easy one for me, I gave up soldering back in the early 90's, fried a $5,000 computer, that was enough for me :)

It is not under warranty anymore. Do you think desoldering the SATA port would do any good?
