Don't mess too much with the large ribbon cables, they're far more fragile and next to impossible to repair.
The two circuit boards are joined by a 17-pin ribbon cable about 3 cm across. This cable is the primary suspect for your calcs' problems. Try checking the resistance across the cable by measuring at the two exposed conductors just off the ends of the cable; perhaps I need pictures to go along with my instructions.
I'm going to update my website to fix a few inconsistencies in the disassembly instructions and make the information more relevant to ribbon cable repairs. And now that I have a working method to permanently repair a cable without soldering, I'll add those too.
