U5750 is what was originally shorted to ground. I replaced it from a "hole" board... Do you think it could be bad still? The short has been eliminated.
Yeah. I must have soldered it on incorrectly. Instead of trying to figure that out, I just pulled another off a board and made sure to be very deliberate with my soldering this time and no more safe mode! All seems well. Thanks again Duke!! This can be marked as fixed or solved!
