The underside of the board can be cleaned up with a small stiff fibreglass bristle brush. ...

Wow! That did the trick
Thanks so much for taking the time to give me your feedback!
Silly me was treating the solder like glue and thought if all the pins were soldered together, it would be stronger--nope! That's why it wasn't working earlier.
Followed your advice, removed the solder around the pins, and it worked!
Of course, of all the times I could've broken the power switch pin while tinkering with the device, the time it finally worked would be the time the power switch would get broken! I kept attemptress's warning in mind, and yet... haha...
My only concern now is that it blinked green for a while, then I moved it and it blinked red....I think it's just a matter of readjusting, but no matter how I moved the power, even if I disconnect and connect, it stays blinking red so I can't start it up....I will just keep an eye on it I guess.
THANKS again! Like, a really BIG thanks!
