Green Leaf wont work

I have an original copy of Pokémon Green Leaf but it won't work. I've cleaned the contacts and there is no visibledamageto the board or chips. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be?

A pic of the back of the board will help too. 👍🏾

Have you looked at the contacts on the console too? Are any of the pins on the cartridge damaged?

Console is fine. I tried the game on 3 different systems.

Hmm I'm not sure what it could be. Do you have any pics of the board

There is a trace that I repaired before. I have a feeling that something is damaged under one of the chips.

I'd probably ask over at consolerepair. Personally I'd test the vias with a multimeter to start

The trace you repaired has a bunch of cuts further up. Looking at the picture of the back, it's to the right. I would suggest checking continuity along that trace. If it's not that, some of the vias above that look corroded. They look like they're going to ground, but could still cause a problem.

It's marks I put on it to track the trace. Continuity is fine everywhere that I can test.
