RAM seems to always be an issue but not too often on the short boards in my experience. Mask ROMs are usually pretty unlikely to break, at least in more recent systems like this. The older MOS ROMs (in the VIC20 for example) break all the time as far as I can tell from my repairs. I think this C64 got overvoltage at some point. RAM and ROMs seem to be the first things to break in that case (both RAMs were shorted and boiling hot in this one).
