Question Sony Vaio SVE14A2M6WE won't turn on. What can I do?

[Babel_SW]

Hi, I'm working on getting an old laptop (Sony Vaio SVE14A2M6WE) into a great condition- I put in an SSD, new RAM and a new CPU (i7 3630QM).

However, when I hibernated it today, it seems to have totally bricked itself- both the Web and Assist buttons can't seem to turn it on (the original Power button has been broken for some time so I have to use these instead).

What's interesting is that when I unplug the AC adapter, press and hold one of the "power" buttons for a couple of seconds, plug the AC adapter back in and try to power the machine on, the green power light comes on for a second and slowly turns off again. I can do this once or twice before it stops working and I have to repeat the procedure again. Weird!

I have tried powering the machine on with only one RAM module present. I have tried powering the machine on with the previous CPU installed. I have tried powering the machine on without the SSD or the DVD drive. I have tried clearing the CMOS. Nothing worked.

Is there anything else I could try myself? Or do I have to send the machine to some repair shop? I don't want to spend any more money on it

check main battery if it still works as it should, at least measure the voltage

edit:

shorten the power button to try powering on. Eventually no other button can power it on after hibernate or shutdown

I tried shorting the button, and I know the Web button wakes it up from hibernating- did this the same day it broke. I don't think it's the battery's fault, it still refuses to boot up after removing the battery and only using the AC adapter

check the voltage of the PSU, how much is it?
check if the power jack in the Vaio is getting power to the motherboard

try these suggestions:
