You might have damaged traces near the cart slot with that.

well look for damaged traces. You might be able to "jump" them.

why would the cart slot traces being disconnected cause it to not work i thought you dont need the cart slot for it to work?

I said traces AROUND the cart slot.
and you never know about that cart slot t hing. Maybe one simple ground trace connected trough it. You don't know.

Ya. unless you find the broken trace. But for all I know static could've just fried it.
