No power. I've located a rail shorted to ground. Injection 0.9v 5a, draws 2.4a and thermal shows 1 mosfet and 1 VRAM module heating up. Is it possible just that mosfet is shorted and everything else is OK?

No, typically GPU will be dead as well as several or all VRAM ICs. Machine might still work on iGPU only though.

Man, gaming laptops are nothing but trouble. Thanks!

Very true but when repaired they give you good money also.
