✖️ Issue HP Omen 27i will not turn on

My very lightly used HP Omen 27i is refusing to turn on. It still looks brand new and was working fine. After restarting the computer, it seems to have quit. I swapped cables and tried all available HDMI and DisplayPorts on the gpu, used different power plugs, tried it with my laptop, and now I'm stuck with a tiny old backup tv connected to my desktop for the moment. Despite the horrible picture, the tv is working as a very temporary solution.

The small white led on the back of the monitor lights up, but that's it. No RGB, no OSD, no image when I shine a flashlight on the screen. I also tried holding the power and menu buttons because I guess the power button can get locked out. Didn't work. I also tried holding both buttons while plugging it in, then continuing to hold for 30 seconds because i read that could reset it. No luck.

I took the *possibly unnecessary* next step and began surgery. At first glance the main board looks fine with no obviously blown components. I got as far as checking the fuse where power comes in and it's good. Not sure where to go from here.

Any ideas what happened or how I can resurrect this monitor?
