    @dwcraig1 and @Quantum Mech sorry for the delay. I do have it "working" thank you to everyone for the help. I say "working" because i really have to torque down the battery caps. On the 510 side just a bit of pressure, but on the screen side i probably have to go an additional 45-90 degrees...

    Ok so I cleaned out the battery cap area pretty well. But how clean do they need to be. I would say it is much more metal than anodizing/powdercoating. What of it is too loos in the battery cap. Is there something I could rap the battery cap in to make sure it is making a good connection? Just...

    actually there it is i think in the last picture there is some insulation off the wire under my screen. do you see that. could that somehow be causing all this? i mean i get that exposed wire is no good but could that be the cause of all of this?

    so to remove the buttons, i just pull them straight out? away from the device, like i am pulling a thumb tack out of a cork board?

    @Quantum Mech, by battery sled do you mean the tube and the top positive connection? @dwcraig1 have you pulled out the whole sled? anything i should know before trying to pull it out and start looking at the positive connections?

    @dwcraig1 sanding didn't seem to do anything. I think the ground in the top plate comes from the screws. the crew touches non coated metal, does a mod like this require much more ground than this? sorry still a newb to actually working on my mod
