Where are the power pads on the A1297 - Early 2011?

Hello!

I have been looking for the power pads on the MacBook Pro 17" (A1297 - Early 2011) for about an hour reading topics and staring at the motherboard.

Been through some topics in this very forum.

Already look on this website:

Power pads on MacBook

I can't figure it out.

My motherboard has absolutely no text written on it. Anywhere.

Here is where the pads should be according to what I've read:

See there

Nothing ...

Thanks for help!
