I recapped both a 575 and a 660av. 575 no issues. 660 worked, but now nothing. Checking over all joints etc. Is it possible to lose grounding? it it dead and not Sure why?

Ok, well i was checking over the board tonight and noticed something loose. Little 223 chip had come off and had electrolyte goo under it. So cleaned up the chip and another one came off. Is this possibly why board is non functional?

Well, all is well in this project. Cleaned up those two 223’s, hot aired them back on. Gave the whole board a dip in the vinegar / warm water tank for an hour with some toothbrush scrubs. Gave the board a distilled rinse, and finished off with a week dry out. She works, sound works (didnt before) unless i had headphones in.
