May be really it's just only dying battery - did You try replacing it?
Have You seen any suspicious electrolitic capacitors on the PCB?

I tried the screw driver trick to get my old Asus p3v4x board to fire up ( I was diagnosing it out of the case for a no boot fans run conditon )
My Dad and I watched a nice spark come from the screw driver, the green led lit for a second and then the board died on my bench, I have tried everything but the darn board is dead, no fan video or anything, I may varnish it and hang it on my wall
After that I bought a spare power switch for testing boards out of the case
