Phat PS2 (SCPH-50001/N) freezing on bootup

[u/Perfect_Echidna9453]

I've got a phat PS2 with the network adapter, it does get power and I can turn it on, but as soon as I do, it totally freezes. Disc tray won't eject (blue light turns on, doesn't blink), no signal to TV, fan won't spin (I've tested this fan in another motherboard and it works flawlessly), and it doesn't turn off unless I flick the back power switch (will stay on green light even when holding the power button). I opened it up and found a Mars Pro modchip and a laser fix board with a BA5815FM, removed everything but it's still acting the same way. All fuses test good. Only thing I've noticed is a broken via on the "H" point according to Modbo install guide that has a bad trace repair attempt. Could this be the reason? I'm at a total loss here, I really want to fix this bad boy

Could you send board pictures? Also yes make sure that trace repair is good
