I found this online in a forum where a user complained his watch was still dead after changing the capacitor.

"Have you tried an all reset? Most citizen watches need an extra step after the capacitor/storage battery is replaced. It is sort of like with a battery powered watch. After you replace the battery, you touch the AC button to reset it.

On Citizen watches, you don't have to take the back off for a reset.

You will need to find your 4 digit module number (on the case back and starts with a letter and then numbers (example E810) ) then find the online manual and find out how to do the reset.

With a simply 3 hander watch, the reset was to simply pull out the crown to time set mode and leave it for 30 seconds and then push it back in.

However yours is a more complicated model with a perpetual calendar so the procedure might be different.

Make sure to leave it in the sun for a few days to let it get a charge up first"
