looking to repair copy of pokemon red

[inner lintel]

So long story short a family member found me a non working copy of pokemon red for a decent price (which is a weird thing to say about something that doesn't work). On top of the connector wear, and I'm assuming corrosion damage on the the back of the game that I knew about beforehand I noticed there was corrosion tucked in behind the legs on most of the components. I ended up cleaning it and reflowing the solder on everything to see if that would get it working with minimal improvement (it now loads past the start up screen). From here my basic knowledge is kind of at an end, I originally planned on jumping straight into a PCB swap but I'm having difficulty with HDR's Gerber file in PCB ways builder since it still needs some adjustments after loading (edge connector, setting thickness to 1.0, surface finish,etc) and I'm just not 100% sure on if that's all that needs to be adjusted. So now I'm here, If someone has ordered the PCB before and can let me know if my settings are good then great, otherwise I'm also willing to see if I can get the current board working again as well as long as it doesn't turn into too much of a mess thanks for the help in advance.

Probably not worth getting the original board to work given the visible damage. For the replacement PCB, the most important settings are:

1. 0.8mm thick board
2. ENIG surface finish
   Basically everything else should be fine

Also just gonna throw out there that JLC will likely be much cheaper for the same board configuration

alright just what I needed to hear😁, I'll get the new board ordered thanks for the help.

Boards came in and it's now alive. only issue is that the board has to be pushed as far right In the cartridge as possible or it doesn't read it properly, but that's pretty minor considering it was not working before 😅.

Could you share a picture of the board ? Seem weird that it is that sensitive 🤔
