20ez Brightness controls dont effect brightness *FIXED*

I have been working on a friends sanyo monitor and today finally realized its above my pay grade so I put my chassis back in my game and guess what... Its is now messed up. Here are the symptoms and what I had done...

Screen is green saturated with jail bars. I can get brightness to go up and down with the flyback but the brightness pot and the sub brightness pots have no effect. The blue and red drive pots dont seem to be doing much either. The bias pots do seem to kick in at about max crank.

All I did with this chassis was take it out and pull/replace IC601 and Q901.

I'm not a monitor guy but I follow directions good. What should I be looking for based on these symptoms?

B+ is a solid 108.

I don't know what those parts do that you replaced, but if you're not experienced at soldering it can be fairly easy to screw up and bridge solder joints and such. at least that's the first thing people tell you to check!
 
It turns out the Orange wire on the neck board had gotten disconnected durring removal/install. Soldered it back in and BOOM. Working.
