Check for pulse at PM_SLP_S4_L (at same time); it should stay high in fact.
If not, there is a problem with PCH...

If doesn't react at same time with PM_PWRBTN_L, PCH is suspect.
Just in case, check its RTC signals.

So i just checked the board is pulsing every 5 seconds.
almost all big coils. Even PM_SLP_S4_L.
I replaced R1275. Still the same.

Current draw on the PSU is also the same.

Any history available?
Corrosion signs on the MLB?

Just in case, try to reflow PCH area, to eliminate eventually crap underneath.
