I've isolated the serial port on the motherboard but I don't know how to fix it. I can't see any visible problem. What should look broken? I have a magnifying lens, but there is no clear fault. Should I spray with contact etching solution, reassemble and try again, or is there a better idea?

Use a solder iron to remelt the solder on the serial ports pins. If that doesnt work, look for something that got into the port socket itself; maybe some metal filings ?
If none of those work, maybe the IC responsible for the serial port is hosed. Anyknow know which IC does the serial port ?
