No light on the coolrunner suggests that theres no power getting to it. I would put up pics of your solder points and then take it from there.

When you put the board back in the metal chassis, you probably disturbed the wiring.
As said above, post some images of your wiring and we can help you from there.

ok guys thanx... it had to be something with that... the green wire on the back is most problematlic for me... is there an alt for it ? (i will search for alts. just thought if someone knew of the top of their heads t.i.a.)

You may as well solder to the original point if it is still intact, the alternate is on the side of a resistor right next to it.
As I said, images will really help us to help you here

.ok. thanx again... can't get picstures til tomorrow morning but i really appreciate everyone's input YOU ALL ARE GREAT>
there are top alts for the 2 bottom points as well. These are pulled from the "Alternate RGH Points - How To Fix When You [email protected]*k up" thread, so no credit to me.
Alt POST_OUT1
Alt CPU_PLL_BYPASS
Remember though, screw these points and you're done with the system.

No red light on CR, maybe The dvd cable knocked the switch to PROG on the coolrunner when u put everything back together

happend on my slim the culprit was the long case screw when i put that in it cut thru my wire was easy enough to fix just make sure u dont do the same thing lol
thank you everyone for their input "it was my fault".... i re-checked and re-touched ALL connections and made sure they are securely in place and it was prolly the green one as it's the only problematic one for me (as far as install) but i got it all connected correctly and it's working now but still slow boot times... i will post some pics maybe someone has some suggestions on the wire tweaks.

Have you added the cap across GND and CPU_PLL_BYPASS (or bridged the pads labelled CAP if you have a CoolRunner Rev B)?
Hi.
Have you bridged the cap on the coolrunner(rev b) to improve the boot time. If you have a rev a coolrunner then you need to add the cap
