Amiga 2000 that previously had sound not playing sound after repairs

Hi everyone,

Several months ago I bought an Amiga 2000 and when I first tested it out, it had sound. I opened it and took the motherboard out so I could remove the battery, solder in a watch battery adapter, and replace the Floppy drive cable, which was oozing green stuff onto the pins and clean off the pins. Overall the machine is in pretty good shape, no battery damage, reads disks fine, but when I put everything back together it no longer output sound. I haven't done any recapping, but I don't imagine whatever the sound capacitor is would go out in such a short time, and I don't imagine Paula would have died from anything I did, is there a good test that maybe I can do with a multimeter to see if Paula is outputting sound? I'm thinking maybe it's possible that something got dislodged or maybe a solder point got cracked, but I'm not good enough at reading schematics to see what to look for. This is on motherboard revision 4.1

EDIT: I pulled out Paula, scrubbed the pins with some isopropyl, put it back and now I have sound!
