You mentioned you corrected a little bit of battery corrosion?

Where there is some there is possibly more, under chips etc that maybe you haven't spotted?

Can you take a closeup (clear) picture of the area below the battery pack?

I wouldn't overthink this issue as you could be running off on tangents that are unrelated.

Battery corrosion is far and away the most common problem with these boards and it causes lots of differing outcomes that can be misleading. You already mentioned that you had "some" - I suspect more.

Quoted from JBK:

Soldered a jumper between the two points and VOILA! It's working again. It was a bad trace. Thanks everyone for the help. Now to go play a few games on TAF!

Excellent news and well done!

I would still look critically at the area around there for additional corrosion issues.

What caused the track to be open circuit? Corrosion or mechanical stress?
