I am working on A hardbody And the displays were working but flickering so I decided to reflow solder on the pins for the connector. I reheated the solder bit on some I added solder. I checked continuity between pins and none were touching but when I powered the on the power arced across the pins. I removed the excess solder a tried again, now no displays but power at test points is good. Any advice

Check the fuse at the power supply board.

Did you replace the capacitor on the power supply?
Check the connectors for bad contact.
Sometimes battery acid has dripped down to the bottom of the cpu board.
Sometimes even the display connector....
