Is there a way to access the internal memory and try to restore some (possibly) corrupted part of firmware? I'm quite comfortable with soldering and tinkering about.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Other than the boot code, the firmware is all stored on the µSD card. You might want to remove the µSD card and check the socket to make sure no flakes of the HZO conformal coating (the stuff that makes it waterproof) are inside the socket. If you do a quick search on the Internet, you will find some messages and videos about doing so.
