You probably blew a fuse or fusible link that you haven't found yet. You shouldn't have to just the compressor. The first half of a pound will go in without the compressor and that will be enough pressure to trigger the compressor on. Don't try to put any refrigerant in unless you have the system under vacuum at the time. You can't have air mixed in.
