She's dead, Jim.

did you saw back and forth at the rubber seal to get the ihs off? and have you varified if just from those little marks it doeanst work?
 
See scrape on chipboard near corner on bottom left...that's my guess what killed it. The dark coloring around the transistors was present when I first opened it so I think that's the way it always was.
