Got a 4 slot from a friend that was not working, I patched a trace under the battery and got it to boot. Only issue is I get sound out of only slot 1 and 3 but not slot 2 and 4. I already cleaned the slots and inspected the board for for broken traces and found none aside the one under the battery.
I see one here.

My other question would be is if the guy ever swapped the transistors I swapped on that sync module board? Mind you I swapped mines but have yet to test it.
I am just happy to learn and help, I had to figure all this out on my own. So if it helps make it easier for the next person I happily share the knowledge.
Yea just gget it from a donor, it's easy you heat the solder and at the same time pull the pin with a needle nose and it will come right out no problem.
