Console Repair

Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.
If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.
If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.
If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

I have already cleaned the contacts and the membranes. How would I go about tracing where the problem lies? I know there's no continuity when the button isn't pressed, but nothing happens when I bridge any of the buttons, either with the membrane or otherwise, with the exception of the start button, which then seems to trigger all the buttons continuously (judging by the leds).
It's really odd you wouldn't get continuity even using metal across the buttons. That seems like a physical issue with those contacts.
Do you know how I can proceed tracing where the issue lies? Power is applied, as I can get the leds to light up.
