I put my clock together and had the mosfet turned around backwards at first (the mosfet with the text on the opposite side of the how to images). Once that was fixed it seems good, but...
I leave the clock running and 12 hours later all segments are lite. So I unplug it and plug it back in, still all lite. I do this a few times until it works perfect again but 12 hours later same problem. I've tried waiting for a while before plugging it back in, but no change it works some times sometimes it doesn't.
Strange thing is, that the segments slowly glow in, and sometimes glow out. (fade in, fade out)
Any ideas?
I also didn't receive a 10 k resistor but I had a few laying around and just used my own.
Thank you,
Icetube clock all segs lite?

That's not a problem I've seen before. If you post some nice clear photos of the boards we can take a look. We'll need to see the front & back of the main board and just the solder-side of the tube board.
