What are the original symptoms with the original pcb?
Why do you think that your pcb is faulty?

Measure the resistance between pin #4 and pin #8 of the flash chip.

Is your photo showing the damaged board or the donor?

That can be caused by poor soldering too.

Will help using a bit of flux or higher soldering temperature and higher air pressure.
With my soldering station i do it usually at 300° C

I'm not sure pin #4 (which by the way involves itself into the power supply) is making good contact.
