If its on the latest dash, u'r only option is to try and get the key off the DVD drive. But being a xenon I wouldn't bother, get yourself a jasper or trinity.

Edited the post and uploaded to the forums directly :) heres one side of the pcb 20140419_043100.jpg. the red wire was really loose and was barely making contact when i got it and i soldered it back on but i took it back off when i was inspecting the board..

I would desolder all wires, then solder all of the wires up correctly and make sure all cables are plugged in correctly. Right now you don't have worm motor cable plugged in. So after you do all of that (if you need an image for referance of correct cable locations look that up and follow that) and you're still having an issue then take pictures of both sides and repost those.
