omg it boots
Contrast potentiometer issue as well, looks like. Volume seemingly works. Buttons all work.
I'm very slightly touching the wheel here, hoping I can get by with cleaning it...
this is hopeful though, its not a lost cause!

Fully snapped, made it a pain to remove
Was some odd gunk under it, mostly got rid of it but the pad seems fine, had to wrestle it a bit. Used the flat side of a k tip to push it out because there was nothing to grab onto on the other side. Lots of solder sucker and wick too.
Taking a quick break before adding the new one on, if someone could giggle check this id appreciate that.
