I performed a full teardown of my Begode A2 and it turns out the motherboard was in perfect shape with no damage, no burns, and no loose components. With nothing damaged, it had to be a software problem which seems to have been addressed during the most recent update.

This does not explain how I rode the "time bomb" firmware for 500+ miles with no cutouts before it randomly started dropping me. I can recall several times over those 500 miles on this FW where I interacted with the power button in similar ways during a ride and did not cutout. I've got no clue what caused it in the end.
