Can I just spray deoxit on the connector on the cyberstorm?

Yes.
It was just last Saturday that I solved that problem once again.
The problem occurs every 1 - 1 1/2 years:
The contacts in the connectors between the CSPPC and the MoBo do oxidize.
If my maschine shows those symptoms I demount the Amiga and give the contacts in question a good shower with "Kontakt60"
spray to etch the oxide film and annother good shower with "KontaktWL" to wash away the etched oxide film.
[EDIT]
Provide enough time time for drying before powering it up again (1 hour was always sufficient here)!
[/EDIT]
Both sprays are from "Konakt-Chemie", a German company, but
I'm sure you have similar products available in your local area.
Until now this procedure was 100% successfull every time...
I can only strongly suggest to first clean the contacts in the connectors between CSPPC and MoBo and then to give it annother try, before sending the CSPPC in for "reballing" the PPC - most likely dirty contacts are the reason for failure - not badly soldered PPC chips...
