trying with play & charge cable still not power up..
using another working controller battery compartment + new battery still not power up..

my board is Matrix with Shielding, still very clean until now..
maybe its completely broken??

There was a via that liked to go bad on those Wireless Matrix boards that would open up and kill them. You couldn't tell from looking at them they were bad either. I used to use a pin vise and drill them out and toss a 30awg wire in there and solder both sides to restore the connection. No idea if that's the issue with yours or not though. It's been about 15 years now since I've worked on one of those things.

Yes the via just connects top and bottom together on that board, it has no internal layers.
