There is no basic troubleshooting guide for the electronics in preamps.
Even if you found a bad part, could you remove and replace a tiny surface mount component?

There are external tests you can make like measuring the current to the preamp, measuring the voltage at the preamp when it is connected, and measuring its gain. If it fails those tests, replace the preamp.
