After recapping my Portable it would no longer boot, no screen, no sound, nothing. After testing my way through the schematics, all caps that I've replaced test fine except for one.
From what I can tell, the positive side of C24 is no longer connected to anything, so I need to get that fixed up before testing again.
Looking at the schematics, C24 is connected through the Reset switch (S3), on it's way to the Power Manager (PMGR) chip.
Is it reasonable to bodge from the positive pad of C24 to the correct pin on S3? S3 to PMGR traces out fine, so I'm assuming getting the electrons from this C24+ to the reset switch would be a reasonable fix. Is that true?
