Thanks for the suggestions.
This GA402R board does not have a coin-cell / CR2032 RTC battery; RTC/EC backup appears to come from the main battery pack, which currently measures 0V at the output (likely BMS protection).
I tested the board on AC only, with the battery disconnected, and also with RAM removed. There was no change — no LEDs, no fan, and no beep codes.
19–20V is present at the DC jack, input MOSFETs, and main B+ rails, but no 3.3V/5V standby (suspected standby inductors read ~0.23V).
Good point about SMBus — I will measure SCL/SDA...

I would really appreciate any guidance from experienced members on what to check next or where to focus my diagnosis.
Thank you very much for your time and help.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402R – 19V present but no 3.3V/5V standby, no power
Hello everyone,
I’m looking for help diagnosing a no-power issue on an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (GA402R / GA402RK series). ❗ Problem
The laptop does not power on at all:- No LEDs
- No fan spin
- No response to power button
The issue started right after a RAM upgrade. The previous owner mentioned there may have been static discharge during reassembly.
🔍 What I have checked so far (with a multimeter)- AC adapter is confirmed working
- 19–20V is present at the DC jack
- Both input MOSFETs have 19–20V on both sides
- Multiple inductors near the eDP connector
