Chuck - way to give it a helluva try!
I work on circuit boards at work that go in construction lasers. There are so many nic-nacs that if you don't do just right, or in the right order, it won't work. The hardest thing is that every laser has different steps or different nic-nacs that I have to read my manuals every time to make sure I'm doing it right. A lot of them require that you be grounded before working on the board. I have a bracelet I have to wear that snaps to a wire and is grounded to our ground rod on the main power source of the building - go figure. Others have short circuit pins that I have to disconnect (or un-solder) before working on the board.
Regardless, that was a hell of a try to repair the old EEC. No wonder you are the GRAND POOBAH!
