Title:

Replaced capacitor c551, now hangs on first boot screen

Text:

-As the title suggests...I had originally replaced c550 because composite was garbled and this fixed it. I recently got an s-video cable and noticed I had the same problem. Went ahead and replaced c551 and now the colors/picture looks flawless over s-video but it hangs on the white Sony boot logo (regardless of whether a game in the console or not.) It doesn't look like I bridged anything (I think) but not really sure where I went wrong. Anyone have ideas towards what could've caused this?

+Edit: here's some pics, my god the soldering is worse than I recall. Now that I'm looking closer, that glob next to the C508 text looks like it could be part of the problem?[br]
