For giggles I tried the resistance test suggested. I unplugged the board, flipped it to the solder side and tested adjacent pins on the PIC all the way up one side and down the other. I got varying readings from 0 Ohms to infinite resistance including 2 Ohms, 4 Ohms, 10 Ohms, and 18 Ohms. I suspect the board circuitry and whatever magic is going on inside the PIC are affecting this to the point of it being unhelpful.
...sounded good to me in theroy though.
On the reset button:
I do not have continuity, but using the Ohm meter I tested the reset at the lower right and lower left. In the 'rest' position I get infinite resistance, when depressed I get zero resistance
On both the mode and select switch using the center and right bottom posts I get zero resistance in the 'rest' position and infinite resistance when depressed.
