Look for cracks in the board. The left panel board is made out of cheap phenolic, and all it takes is a whack on some of the sliders and the board can crack, along with some traces. I've had two Polarises that had this problem. If you find the cracks, you can scrape the green solder mask off the traces that go across the tracks and bridge them with fine wires.
