No joy. After reassembly, same symptoms.
I have had a bit of soldering experience (my first project was a Ham radio receiver around 1960) so that part was no problem. I just couldn't see any joints that were so bad that they were visible. Didn't feel up to touching up the whole board or the main board. Oh, well, worth a shot.
