You need to be able to see the traffic on the physical I2C bus in
order to help diagnose issues like this. You're going to want to see
ACKS/NAKS, clocks and other I2C bus activity.
You'll need to solder down scl/sda/gnd wiring to the PCB, I generally
attached to the eeprom which tends to have larger pins (details on
their respective datasheets).
It's not hard to do, but does require a small investment in hardware.
One the actual bus behavior is documented and understood, you'll
likely get a better technical discussion going on.
Send me a detailed picture of the PCB and I can probably help spot the
I2C bus for you, if you have a low cost bus analyzer and a soldering
iron.
