New Omega2+ seems to be "dead"

Here the pics:
Unfortunately, I could not recognize an obvious defect ...
Thx in advance,

Look closely at the array of exposed metal strips. One of them appears to have a couple of holes that the one I have in my hand doesn't have.

@Jürgen-Pollex In the first photo BTW. Halfway down the left-hand row of exposed metal hashes.

re: yes, I found in the 11th strip two holes ans some solder.
That should be ok. Contact #11 and #12 are both connected thru "via" (these 2 through holes.)

Dear Community,
A big THX for your support and information so far. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem. Nevertheless now my (at least for me) the central question:
How do I get a working Omega 2+?
- send the "old" one back to get an replacement?
- somehow update the actual one (what is needed to do so; actually I´ve at home only the Omega and a expansion dock)?
- order a new one?
- leave the path of Omega (worst case) ...
Thx in advance,
kind regards,Jürgen

@Jürgen-Pollex , you made what onion.io was asking for. When you make a ticket then include this request (link to it). They will give you more details. Asking for tools to do some more Hardware testing and/or ask for a replacement.

Given that you say that the terminal monitored no connection to the board, but then immediately follow that with a quote from the terminal showing connection to a board, it's a bit unclear how anyone could help.

@Chris-Stratton , thanks for showing up this. Count this according my missing experience with this kind of Problems. Nevertheless at first I thought, that the message came from the driver or the expansion dock. Afterwards I recognized that there should be a sort of connection to the Omega 2+, because the memory was displayed. On the other hand - compared with other monitor / screenshots after an Omega - restart, my picture was total different ... :fleur-de-lis:

I have the two little holes in the golden metal strips too, but no solder as you do. Btw, your photos are really sharp for the size! Nicely done!
There's a component soldered sideways near the SD card connector edge, the edge opposite to the card entrance. Not sure if it's connected or not because it's darker there.
