First I would not recommend the LPC rebuild, you can do a far better and traceable job with wire.

It sounds like one of the rebuilds are not properly connecting, you might need to use a MM to trace back for bad solders.

OK well first i would try to remove the rebuild board using solder wick / braid. Unplug the chip and remove any wires you have soldered to the motherboard / eject switch. You first have to get the motherboard working again with video without the chip for the moment and undo any damage you have done so far.

You may have bridged ( drop a bit of solder on the motherboard and now it's shorting 2 traces or legs of an ic somewhere ) you will have to examine the motherboard ( both sides ) using a mag glass and a good light !

Once the motherboard fires up and doesn't frag ( flash red and green ) then you can start to install the chip again but this rebuild the lpc using wires !

Here is my duox2 install page HackDaBox's Duo X2 Install Guide !
