I've been trying to spot any broken traces or anything suspicious but nothing is jumping out other than a stain around the sound chip. Suspect this was from a spillage or damp as there's also a bit of corrosion on the legs on this chip. My assumption is that a problem with the AY would not cause a boot issue but if people think differently then let me know.
Can you post a picture of the stain? If a capacitor has leaked it could be pulling the voltage rail down or could have corroded a solder joint nearby.
Bryce.
