HELP!!! Board Problems!!!!
mgb:
Its a bit hard to tell much in the video but definitely you've got to get the voltage adjusted to the proper 5vdc at the board. a low voltage can give issues similar to this on start up. Its always important to make sure you have your 5 volt properly set before anything further.
Mac Green:
ok I checked definitely getting 5vdc
mgb:
By 5 volts, remember you want about 5.1 or 5.2
some boards will give issue with something like 4.8v
did you actually meter it at the input to the board or possibly even on the power pins of an ic?
If you have 5 volts at the power supply, you are guarenteed to have 4.8 or lower at the board.
Are all of the socketed chips on the board in correctly? meaning no bent pins and in the correct direction (pin 1 where it should be)
after you verify the chips are in properly, one thing you may wanna check is with the board powered up, feel all of the chips and see if any are very hot to the touch.
Mac Green:
OK im gonna check rite now
Mac Green:
OK i checked nothing feels hot an all the pins are in right
