GX7 Power on/off issue

I just bought a pre-owned GX7 at the usual e place.  Cheap as it has a power on/off problem. Previous owner had screen replaced and ever since it will not power up.

Upon inspection I was impressed how pristine camera appears. Barely a visible scratch.

Looked at sensor and it is perfect.

Battery box looks to have never been used.

So...pressing on to see if it works.

I just received and put in new battery and tried it: Turned to ON

I heard something engage... could be shutter?

Green light came on.

Turned to OFF. Nothing happens...green light stays on.

Removed battery and retried. Same result.

Note: a SD card is installed. No lens on camera.

Next step try with lens installed. (waiting on delivery of a lens.)

Anyone have any further ideas?

If all easy tests fail I will crack open to the innards.  Something reinstalled incorrectly; ribbon cable loose; ????
