Victory!
Checked all the solder joints, all the pins and everything looked great.
Put the board back in and everything works perfectly.
Checked all the TPs on the board and we've got good voltage everywhere.

This was the confidence builder I needed when it comes to board work.
Granted it was only a BR but its a start.

Nice work! It feels awesome learning a new skill doesn't it? I like working on them more than playing them (at times). At least when I work on them, I win every once in awhile....
