I can think of a few things that might be causing your problems.
Are all the SIMM's the same speed? You have to install pairs with the same
speed and the if there are two different speeds, the faster ones need to
be in front. Although I don't remember which side is the front.
You may have not put everything back in quite right: mother board not
quite seated right or perhaps disk drive or power cables are a little
loose. It's that old "Try taking it apart and putting it back together"
fix.
The worst case would be that you zapped the motherboard with static
electricity. Although I've had my Plus opened many times without any
problems, I've been warned many times about the dangers of static
electricty. The first Upgrade I bought back in 1989 came with an elaborate
strapping device whereby you grounded yourself by plugging your self in to
the wall socket.
Good Luck, Craig
