I am now reading through other posts in general, and saw the noise reduction update. The kit I received also contains the metal plate, resistor and patch wire to make the alteration to the OLED connection. I'll do the fix when I get home today and also do the work around you recommended. Thank you for the response, hopefully it clears up!

Yes, that is very similar except fewer legible characters. Now that I am home I will try out that combo but not sure where to go if it works.

Thanks for the read!

Well, I have built the latest metal case kit (R5 board) and closed jumper 1 & 2. When I plug in the USB power source, or a 9v source I get no response from the unit. When I hold a button and add power via USB connection the device powers up and the LEDs blink and I get access to the drive on my computer. Pressing button 1 I can turn off and on the access to the storage device.

The issue I have is when I apply USB power sometimes I get mixed unknown characters on the display or nothing at all. When the characters are displayed they do not resemble anything I can read. I am not sure if it is a solder issue or firmware issue but I have been attempting to reburn the PreenFM2 firmware but it came loaded on the USB stick with the kit.

Is it a firmware issue or did I miss a solder point?

I did the best I could to scour other posts in case anyone had the same issue but mine seems a bit different from the other fixes recommended.

Thanks in advance!
