Test Fails
I have constructed the kit, but the green LED does not light on battery insert. The IR LEDs are working but do not flicker on button press. I have reworked the solder joints on the green LED and button. (See attached). Microprocessor is in correctly. Confident that green LED went in right way round.

Re: Test Fails
Can you please post pictures completely showing both sides of the board?
The one you posted only shows part of the solder side. Also, it's a little too fuzzy to really see the solder joints well.

Re: Test Fails
Some of the IR led solder joints look 'cold'. Check this guide for tips on fixing those: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guid ... n-problems
But that should not affect the operation of your green led. I suspect a bad processor chip. Contact [email protected] with a link to this thread and ask for a TV-B-Gone processor.
