I went through the whole thing and heated up all solder joints to make sure they were fine. Same result. It won't start charging.

If the resistor that I connected the fan to was damaged in anyway from leaving the soldering iron on it for too long, would the fan still turn on? I had a hard time getting the fan wire to stick to the resistor so I ended up soldering it on the bottom where the resistor meets the board). The only thing I can think of doing is replacing the resistor where the positive wire is connected.

What are the chances that the start button just happened to break right around the same time I did the mod? Some guy selling two of these on eBay said that one of his 959s just stopped charging altogether as well. Everything else works but the start button. Do you think changing the start button will work?
