Console Repair

Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.
If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.
If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.
If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

OK. Always good to start with the low hanging fruit.
You said the connectors beep out. Have you confirmed that the positive and negative power traces beep when the connector is installed in the slot? More than once, I've had connectors that look like they were properly inserted, but actually weren't.
If the length of the cable through the connector has continuity, try checking continuity all the way from the battery terminals to the mainboard.
If that also shows continuity, can you post hi-res photos of both sides of the boards, including your soldering work? It's possible there's other damage that you are missing but that I might catch.
