The problem is that you're not getting a path to ground for your power connection because of the isolated extra ring connection on the TRS cable tip. When using a TS cable, the ring "finger" of the stereo input jack contacts the cable sleeve, making the ground connection and completing the power circuit.
Pretty sure this fix should work: Remove the wire connecting the ring tab of the input jack to the "Ring" eyelet on the PCB. Then run wire from the Ring eyelet to the
sleeve tab, per the diagram below. Or if the original wire is long enough, just disconnect the end on the ring tab of the jack and move it over to the sleeve tab.
