Board level repair on the Hermes is very difficult. I think you need to take it to a repair shop - but beware of the repair cost, it might be cheaper getting another second hand Hermes.

Not sure why it does not turn on, but it could be many things from a connector cable not fully inserted to a fused component. For this reason again I think professional repair is needed. You could dismantle again and double check all the connections.

The Hermes motherboard is multi-layered and even some repair shops will not tackle it. Some in fact will just quote you for a replacement and that will be very expensive.
