I'd take it fully apart and check the ribbon cable for any tears. For instance, the speakers in the 5300 are much the same, where the data is being sent through the LCD cable. When I tore my 5300ce's LCD ribbon partially, I got only a blank white screen, but the backlight still came on and the speakers worked as it chimed. I'd look over all the cables very carefully for any damage.
Just writing this to say that a chime out of the speakers doesn't mean the cables are fine.
Motherboard shouldn't be an issue here as that one cap is just for battery charge I believe. The board should even work with it removed I'd imagine, but I can't confirm this. Just wouldn't charge any batteries.
Oh, and thanks for posting those files! I'll link them on my website once I get around to updating all the 500 series pages.
