I have followed the steps with an ifixit replacement board, but the controller doesn't stay on after connecting via bluethoot, and the usb connection is not working either, i've checked with the damaged board and all of that is working correctly.
Is there any additional steps to make it work? Did i received a faulty board?
Update to this comment, the battery was dead, so as of now, it is just the usb port that doesn't work, but just with the replacement board, it is brand new from ifixit store, so i'm still thinking it is faulty.
