Followed along with that video and researched several others.  Here is a link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkadkPyGjY4,  where a guy actually goes through the recovery process successfully on a different model...so I know it must work but unfortunately just not on mine.  No matter what I try, I don't even get any beep codes or caps lock codes when the RAM is not installed.

 Thank you for all of your efforts, Stevecomputer.  It has been greatly appreciated.  Looking around on ebay, used boards are going for $150 on up.  I may consider either one of those or just replacing the laptop & selling this one for parts.

Check locally to see, in some countries it's no uncommon to replace bad bios chips.  Since smartphones, there are more and better people out there soldering components. Good luck with all.
