I had a go at other remote and even attempted using solder to restore trace.. It worked as you described.. At least couple of traces I tried.. The pcb slightly got cooked so maybe I applied too my heat it too long... Anyway sadly this time repair wasn't successful... Even when multi meter beeps with every via.. Few buttons are still not responding... I've noticed a lot more of corrosion on this pcb compared to other one so perhaps this "went into" chip itself.. Not sure but I gave up.. I got now 2 working ones and one broken. Frankly I'm using material apk 85% of time anyway...
