My keyboard was working a treat till this Monday, when it wouldn't turn on with fresh batteries or otherwise.

Looking online, the go-to fix seems to be adding a sliver of aluminum foil to the positive areas of the battery holder to help make a (loosened over time) connection.

Sadly, that didn't work for me, with multiple attempts and different batteries.

I took the keyboard apart and tested the power LED (on the bottom) and it still powers on fine, and the switch seems to be working ok.

Any thoughts on next steps for testing?
