Ooh, good to know, thanks! My workspace is occupied by another project currently, I'll try the reflow and check conductivity along the traces and if that doesn't work I'll try to get some high-res pics.

So this is basically a copy of the issue posed here, but instead of resurrecting a 2-year-old thread I figured I'd post a new one. I just recapped my LC III, and though it was my first recap ever and might be a little sloppy, the machine has gone from "nothing on screen, screaming speaker, no...
