Default MMI 2G Not Working (A6 C6)

I've been stuck on fixing this radio for the past 4-5 months, and still no luck. So far my issue is the Screen not working at all (No Splash Screen Pop-Up), and none of the MMI Controller buttons light up (Besides the E-Brake obviously.) I've looped out each individual component in the rear of the car (even the Bluetooth module under the driver seat), and nothing seems to enable the screen to pop up. I don't have access to VCDS, and I'm not sure if spending 200$ is worth this old radio. All the components seem to be getting the red optical light, so my theory is either the Screen or the J523 aren't receiving power, or are just dead modules. Here's a scan from my OBDEleven scanner from a few months back. No signs of any communication to any of the radio components. (For context this scan was taken when there was a fuse in the passenger side fuse box labeled "communication" draining the battery, which gives life to the optical cables in the back of the car) (Also Fixed the "tyre pressure monitoring" there was a missing fuse")

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My old 05 A6 had a similar issue, turned out to be the board under the buttons in the center console. Bought a used board off eBay, swapped them out, then everything came back to life.

My old board had white corrosion on some of the components (spilled liquids over the years)

That was actually the first thing that I had replaced, it didn't solve my problem but I don't know if I had the proper fuse in the communication slot that allows the optical wires to show the red light to the rear components. From all the videos and threads that I've read, most of them have the splash screen pop up, but I still haven't gotten to that point.

You mentioned you had an optical connection at all components, did you check for power at all components?

I know the CD Changer and Navigation Unit both have power because I can obviously remove cd's from both of them, but I don't have a single clue on how I would check power to any of the other components. I just went back into the trunk of the car, and when I "activated" the optical bus light I heard a slight popping/clicking noise which I believe is coming from the Amp. Not sure if that information will help with this case.

Not sure if this would work, but can you start at a component, and look for the red optical light, then look for it leaving the component. Then go to the next one, look for the light going in and out of each one?? Just a thought.

Well if thats the case, then all the rear components are working, but I'm unsure if that actually means everything is working.

Anyone know what components, fuses, or wires that would stop the initial splash screen that still pops up when the Optical Bus is open?
