Sounds very much like you have pinched or even severed the battery wire when putting it back together? Take the shell off and check the wiring for a crimped bit, or the wire is in 2 bits :)

If not that, check the battery wire is plugged into the board properly.

is the led coming on when you are attempting to power it on? if so you know the problem lies between the board and the motor and obviously if the led isn't coming on, the problem is between the battery and the board.

Oh right, the LED comes on, I thought it just didn't work! Well its could be that the sound sensitivity is too low, or even the belt has come off the motor. Try upping the sound settings

Im not sure if you can change the sound settings on the B2, its been a long time since ive used one.

If all connections/battery is good, then either tap the back plate or blow into the mic when you have the back plate off. If nothing is happening, then possibly the mic.
