monochron clock failed beep test

Post by nstolzberg »

Just built a kit that I purchased about a year and a half ago. The initial voltage test looked good (5.07), but the beep test failed. I went ahead and completed the kit. The LED test worked, but the display did not. Turning the potentiometer resulted in the display going from a faint green to black. I think my solder connections are OK. I've attached photos of the front and back of the board. Do you have any advice? Thanks a lot.

Assembly looks OK. I suspect a mis-programmed chip. Contact [email protected] with a link to this thread to arrange for a replacement Monochron Processor.
