I managed to get it working! What I ended up doing was taking more cloth and gently/carefully wiping the whole motherboard. As seen in the pictures it didn’t look terribly dirty so I was quite surprised when it worked. I took extra time to make sure the large main gold connections stemming from the battery locations were cleaned.
However, upon turning it on the screen has two horizontal lines of dead pixels, calculator is still serviceable but they are vexing. Not sure if I can order a new screen online somewhere. One last thing is that my reset button is broken, so I cant reset it.
@thelastmill your comment what was made me reopen it up and take another look, it meant more then you can know. Keep up the awesome work!
