Not defeated, but am running out of ideas. Looks okay. Was hoping others would assist here.
I have no experience doing the following. Caveat Emptor
From #5 above, it was mentioned that voltage was applied to the tear drop pad. I suppose it is possible that a partial flash was performed and the bootloader became corrupt. As I see it, one might attempt the 'Advanced Reflashing' section, but would hold off until I had confirmation from others. @Gordon will most likely respond in the next few days and from these exchanges may be able
to provide additional steps to take. If you are able to code with the Pico as is, I might try some of the tutorials in the meantime.
On a long shot:
Do you have a YouTube account or other public access video repository and would you/are you able to provide a ten second video of you plugging the board in, the LEDs flashing and at the step in the IDE flash process from the PC monitor? If you are willing, that would provide definitive proof for Gordon and make for a more timely response back to you.
