Maybe this note gives you courage to keep on trying: a C35 was one of the first cameras I repaired, and, of course, it did not work when reassembled. This was because the black cables/wires (all of them) were still there, but inside the copper wires had gone bad, maybe because of chemically aggressive components of the insulation. Meanwhile I have repaired several C35s, and about every second had this problem. Replacement is easy.
When disassembling the camera there is one thing that deserves extra care, because it is so fragile and easily damaged: the exposure meter, and as it is the "heart" of the automatic feature, it has to be in perfect state. If you accidentally mess it up, there are plenty more in junk cameras on the net, but unfortunately replacement is not so easy, so be careful, enjoy your repair, and good luck!
