Controller Hardware

Check and recheck for correct:

  • Solder joints for good solder flow
  • Component orientation - matching the silkscreen image on the board - not necessarily the orientation of chip sockets or other carrier devices (they could have been installed backwards).
  • Resistor values
  • Capacitor polarities
  • Part numbers

Always feel free to post help requests with sharp, close-up pictures of your hardware that you are having problems with in the forums to get help from others.
