Ice Tube Clock Problem (boost converter?)

Post by mnsch »

Assembled the kit up to the point where the tube comes into play. Clock does not beep, nor does the tube display anything.

I "re-checked" all solder points and as far as i can tell voltage is ok.

Need your help, any pointers recommended.

Thanks!
