preenfm2 and preenfm3 / A failed PM3 build
« on: June 14, 2022, 02:43:49 PM »
I finally had time to build the PM3. Sadly, PM3 build has failed.
This was a bit of an odd one. The board is quite an old one, version 1.1.
Followed the VanDaal instructions. There is no noticeable cold joint anywhere. It will not display anything on the screen. During shipping the main board lost one of it's 100uf capacitors, so I had to put a larger (through hole) version in it's place. I don't think that is the issue though.
It will turn on the 3 leds Green/Yellow,Blue. Blue stays solid, no blinking. On the screen, I bridged the j1 connection, but that didn't work in either setting.
