OK, so I'm sitting at home yesterday saying to myself", ok, just one more try." I teach my soldiers to be persistant and not give, so, I took some of my own advice. I pull that puter, look it over really good, and sure enough, I see residue still on a few of the contacts. Scrape the all again pretty good, put it all back together, say a prayer, and let'er rip! Sure enough, that puppy starts right up! I'm so happy. Thanks for the words of encouragement all. (FlaresideBeast, look at your contacts again. I thought mine were good to go after a million cleanings, but as it turned out, it took a million and one). Now to update my profile! Thanks again all. Hooah!

 

Hi baddgene,

Excellent!!!!

Congratulations, I know that made you happy.

It's amazing how the clear color of that conformal coating can trick you into thinking it's all gone, you're not the first person to run into that, not by a long shot!

Glad to hear you're up and running, now you can enjoy your Superchip like you're supposed to!
