Correct. Now examining PCB with magnifying glass and continuity tester to
inspect circuit line that may look broken or brownish as earlier described as
evidence of corrosion.
Common sense, patience and willingness hoping for dumb luck.
Never surrender!

@Brian we disagree.

So the screen/kb from the unit you were working on worked fine on the other

You are in the wrong. Adjust what you consider harmful into something more

Unfortunately that is a pretty typical solder joint for an M100 it is OK.
One thing you might want to look for is corrosion caused by flux residue
that was left behind after the manufacturing process. It looks like a
copper brown deposit but might hide a damaged track. I have worked on a few

If you look close you can just see a green trace under that block of solder so
it looks like those two pins would be electrically joined anyhow. Sometimes
this PCBs had messy solder joints from the factory. Probably the most common
issue is a poor connection from the solder not flowing out prope
