Question Any advice about testing a trimmed N64 that was working fine to see if it's now fried?

Hi! Currently making a portable.

I trimmed the board with bud's guide:

Bud's N64 Trimming Guide

This is guide compromised of information documented by myself, Beta, Bibin, Ashen, and a few others. I'm putting the information I find useful all in one thread for convenience and ease of use. flaxty MSPaint Illustrations! Yeah! REV3-4 Be sure to pull off the extra capacitors before you...

Did a ram swap, trimmed, slot relocation, added a 2k resistor on PIF pin 8. Everything was working fine for 3 weeks while I was doing some tests and case modeling and then today I went to turn it on and nothing.

I'm getting 8v and 3.3v from the regulator. I checked on the cartridge slot pins, also getting 8v and 3.3v, no shorts.

I'm getting 5v from the N64 regulator for the video. I tried an oem power supply, same thing.

Ram, cpu and rcp are getting warm, but not insanely hot, just like they should.

I think that maybe I fried something while moving the cartridge slot, but I've been doing it a few times in the last weeks without issues.

Any idea of what the culprit might be? Or where to test the cpu/rcp for issues? I checked schematics and can't find a short anywhere.

Thanks!

Well,it's super hard top tell without pictures,it can be bassically everything.Could you please post a picture of your trimmed board,but you should clean your board with IPA first,sometimes is something basic like that
