Default ford fiesta mk4 dead at key

the engine wont start (dead at key) but the ignition lights are turning on, the drivers door hinges are worn and we have to slam the door to close, after a few slams i think the ecu has had enough and either died or partially disconnected, the immobilizer light never comes on so my thoughts are the constant slamming of the door has dislodged the leads connecting the ecu, (which has the immobilizer as part of the ecu) ive been told that i would need to take the whole dash out but id rather scrap the thing than take all the dash out to check a lead. any help or pics would be much appreciated
