If replacing the Power Distribution board doesn't resolve the problem then I would look at the possibility of a short either in the wiring to the camera or inside the camera itself. You can check this possibility by:
1. disconnecting power to the power distribution board
2. disconnecting the camera connector from the power distribution board
3. reconnecting power to the power distribution board
If after doing these steps, the 5V LED lights up then that would indicate the presence of a short somewhere.
