Also make sure the flash is discharged. There is a large capacitor for the flash and if its charged up and you touch it you get a massive and dangerous shock.
So part of the procedure has to be to fire the flash and then straight away take the battery out before it can recharge.
Ribbon cables are the biggest touchy point in these mods. They can be a tad delicate. Also when I did a 20D it had a couple of very fine wires that powered the LCD and I think another set that powered a circuit board. Don't know about a 60D but if they used that same setup it may be one of these fine wires that are easily broken off. I had to resolder one.
Did you photograph the camera being modded at every step so you can retrace your steps and compare the camera now to the camera then for differences? Perhaps a ribbon cable is in the wrong socket also as a possibility. But I would check that tiny fine power wires. The 20D had a blue and red one from memory.
