Going to be hard to trace since no schematics are usually available except to authorized service centers.
The 5 volts should come from the standby power supply which is usually part of the main power board.
If you feel lucky you may want to buy and swap the board out.
Also with set off check for a short to ground on that line.

If voltage is present then the battery is a suspect, if not the motherboard charging circuit has problems if adaptor is good and there is no charging.
