when I ran some demos the text was garbled and one alternated between running too fast and too slow. It was working fine a minute before! Maybe I accidentally fried something with static when I was moving it around? Or hopefully it's just a loose connection somewhere?

There are no such things as loose connections inside an Amiga or something that feeble that would cause random bugs, this is a modern computer, not a C64
I think your problem is trying to run demos on an NTSC machine. Did you switch it to PAL? Nothing runs in NTSC, basically.

EDIT: And now my audio has started working, albeit at an extremely low volume!
EDIT2: Audio is garbled sometimes though. I am also getting freezes and crashes.

Capacitor problem. Change them immediately before they make any more problems.
You can't be sure of any further troubles unless you change EVERY capacitor in the Amiga, not just audio. Capacitors are top on the list when troubleshooting Amiga SMD hardware.

Re: SMD soldering. It's pretty easy if you get the technique down. Check out this pdf as an example from sparkfun http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Prot … Basics.pdf ... also this page has a lot more if you scroll down: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutori … als_id=107

You may want to check your power supply or the audio circuit with a multimeter. It's possible that your supply "works" but fucks up the audio. This was an issue with my first amiga and didn't really think of it until you said the caps were clean. There's a simple way to test for this/should be some instructions on aminet.
