*FIXED* Put the RIFA back in and it works


Hi,
I was just removing C37 (RIFA) from the 512K I recently bought.
It was blown, so I de-soldered it and also cleaned up some battery corrosion on the battery contacts.

After putting everything back together, I powered it up and nothing.


I've done the following:

-Cleaned the solder joints with isopropyl alcohol
-Reflowed the yoke power connector
-Reflowed the logic board power connector

Any ideas on what to do? I'm going to put the C37 cap back in and see if that helps.

Thanks,
