Well, you could disconnect the HD to see if for some reason it's bad.

Bricked systems are always tricky to diagnose without a schematic and a good DVM to test out voltages.

For now disconnecting the subassemblies (HD, memory, optical drive) to remove them from the picture while limited is all one can do without having a working spare system to swap parts out with, and no access to schematics & DVM.
