It seems that P-MOSFET is dead... I can see the control signal, but it remains open circuit.
It must be replaced with a new one, IRFTS9342PbF may do.

While waiting for parts to arrive (1 week or so) I was wandering if I could simply short this FET to determine if the rest of the circuitry is alive (ohmic value is ~20kohm.. meaning there is no short circuit for test voltages used in my Fluke multimeter).
Of course, this means the battery life will be significantly shortened, but I am not concerned about it at the moment.
