I have confirmed it reads 4.06 volts after approx 24 hours after being unplugged from roughly a 24 hour charge. What is weird, is after the suggestion of reseating socketed connections, (I only found one IC with a socket) and after reseating it, it booted up fine every time for ~10 times, now back to the issue. Of note, when the issue reappeared after working those 10 times, when continued off-on finally succeeded once, I noticed the date time was reset. During those 10 successful startups however the clock was not reset, as expected.
