[SOLVED] Fresh build: 7805 is getting hot, device not turning on
« on: December 11, 2014, 01:32:43 AM »

I just finished soldering of the kit and cannot turn it on. Jumper 1 + 2 are set. The orientation of 7805 is as it should be. But the preemfm doesn't turn on and 7805 it's getting extremely hot.

To be honest, I'm lost.

Check all your ICs direction (especially the op amp).

Could you post picture of the back side of your pfm2 ?

Better resolution please  ;)

640x480 is not enough. I don't even see if JMP3 is set or not... (It should not).

And a picture of the other side without the OLED screen.

What power supply do you use ?

Have you tried powering it with USB only ?

I'll add tonight some 5V/GND/3.3V points to check.

I tried both: with USB (computer + usb-wallwart) nothing happens.
With a 7,5 or 9v wall wart power supply the 7805 is getting hot quickly, but still stays off.

I don't see diode D2 & D3 on the pictures near the 7805.
Directions are OK ?

I don't see any obvious problem with your pictures.
You can clean up a little the PCB  ;) Most of the time, the yellow things on the PCB can be removed easily.

You could start checking the following values

When you say the preenfm2 does not turn on ?
What do you mean ? is the screen black or all yellow ?
You tried with a USB stick with the "/pfm2/" directory on it, right ?
