I managed to get my rom-inator working finally on my plus and it booted to the pirate finder logo (yay). So I put the back case on screwed it all up, booted and I've no longer got video.

I recapped about a year ago after having this issue so the caps should be fine. The crt electron gun is glowing so it's getting some power there too. 

Any suggestions? I guess I could reflow some of the solder joints to see if it's all good, but are there any quick tests I can do with a multimetre to see where the issue is?

And for posterity's sake I'll update - got this working, just needed to reflow the solder the logicboard connector pins on the powerboard.

The pirate mac startup is so satisfying.
