OK, the power brick showed up and I grafted the correct end on it, removed the main battery, and still no life.
I then took it apart and checked the main fuse, it is good.
I didnt see anything out of the ordinary untill I removed the motherboard. On the bottom side close to the main battery terminals there are 2 transisters that have the solder on the ground area melted and golden colored (they also melted into the plastic of the bottom case) with 148 Ohm to ground on one pin when others of the same variety are in the MOhm range so I assume they are toast.
Markings are IRFR I+- R9020 2S 3Y AND Q41 and Q43 are silkscreened by their legs

What would cause them to blow (over voltage, bad power brick by the seller?) and not blow the main fuse? Is this a common failure? Would replacing them be the only thing I need to do?
