If the PCB is brand new send it back as a DOA. You proved that point in reassembling with your old board and it working. Have you got any mates with the same phone that you can swap out with?
Edit: Is the power button surface mounted? You could run fly leads to the battery and try shorting the pins for the power button, in case it is faulty?

If its brand new then it probably is empty. It will need firmware flashing on it.
Checkout my photos at My Website"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together." |

I didn't think of that  Wouldn't the phone do an initial power up though? Otherwise, how would you program the firmware? |

If there is no firmware then the phone wont do anything as there is no programming to tell it what to do.

I wonder whether you could do a dead phone recover on Davinci? |

Why not contact the supplier and find out if it would have firmware on it or not?
