LC575 powers up. no chime. no video

I have a LC520 upgraded with a 575 logic board... before the logic board recap, it wouldn't even power up

after the recap, it powered, CD and HD spun up, but no chime and no video

I completely recapped the analog board and now, after the power key is pressed, I can hear the power supply clicking and never starting up. I believe it's shorted somewhere

2 problems:

- regarding the analog board, I've checked every capacitor for polarity and it all checks out. all caps were new. what's the next step? how can I test the power supply without attaching the logic board to the rest of the mac?

- after I "ruined" the analog board, I tested the logic board on a working color classic II.. it has the same effect.. powers up, but no video, so I guess the logic board has issues too.. tried different VRAM memory, no effect.. could it be the Egret chip? what's the next step?

More likely the Egret
