The problem is it won't boot and it won't charge. I replaced the battery, it still won't boot beyond the quote above.
I've been playing with it more and wiggling the charging cable, the charging light comes on and off depending on positioning of the cable in the port. I think your initial advice was correct, I need to reflow or replace the charging port.
I'm watching some vids on how to do that, it looks quite challenging without a microscope. My eyesight is not as good as it once was!
The solder joints look ok so maybe it's the port itself that's faulty. Any tips to view or clean inside the charging port somehow?
Not sure if the firmware is now damaged too as it will not boot like it previously did with charging errors on the serial. I guess I will worry about that after I get it to charge/respond consistently.
