Tony: Although its a real pain, it might be worth disassembling the camera again to "retrace" your steps just to make sure that all the wires and ribbon cables...
Thanks for the comment. I have retraced everything a dozen times. I also wore a grounding strap so I don't think it is a static problem, but more a ribbon...
