Kurt,
When powered by battery (or microUSB connected to the Freeplay Zero PCB), if you hold the POWER button in the on position for 10 seconds, does the green LED (on the front of the Freeplay console) turn on?
After that, without any batteries connected, please connect microUSB power directly to the Pi. The unit boots up properly, right? Does the green LED come on during bootup?
I also have a new set of tests that Andrew asked if you could try, since you have the multimeter handy.
Thanks again for your patience with all this.
(And, by the way, the hi-res photos were helpful. I had hoped to see a missing component or something broken/desoldered, but everything looked proper.)
