Hey there,
Yesterday I received my Toki bootleg board that I was waiting for a while, and guess what, someone was playing soccer with the shipping box it seems!
Came with the second board connector broken and the sound, which was working, is not working at all,

The connector part I fixed by soldering it back and after some pliers work, it was badly damaged and the pins were all twisted, but the sound I couldn't fix,
The caps seem OK (I will replace them on monday though) and the amp gets hot (is that a good sign?) but I touch the caps, the amp, the opamp and nothing, not even some noise,

I don't have many tools for now, multimeter, soldering iron and that's it (for now), looking to get an Oscilloscope and a logical probe next month as I've been trying to get into electronics for the past year or so.

This is the board, as it is now:

Hopefully I can work this out, looking forward for your help. :)
Thank you so much.
 
Fixed!
The missing caps on the audio part (you can see it on my circuitry photo) broke continuity to the 10th pin of the JAMMA edge, not having sound.
As soon as I ran a bodge wire from pin 1 of the audio amp (output pin) to the 10th pin of the JAMMA edge I got the sound back for good,
Monday I will have the caps and will report back after getting the bodge wire out.

Is there any place to write down this repair log here to help someone in the future?

Thanks!
