Didn't know whether to post here or technical but since this is devoted to the backlit buttons thought I'd try here. OK I'm an idiot! Doh! I ordered all my components.... got them... began soldering... actually successfuly got the chip soldered to the board then realized Oooops the LEDs I ordered were too big... So ordered 3mm LEDs and figured in the meantime I'd simply put my Empeg back together until the new parts arrived. I pluged in after testing to make sure I had no shorts on the resistor and to my glee the display indeed worked..... until shortly after boot then blam... shutdown, unplug, plug back in, the same thing. So I thought oops I forgot to install the latest and greatest hijack so loaded that up (which was odd, no LED blinking just darkess on the screen but can still load hijack via logo editor?) anyway, still no dice. Have I fried something or do I need to cease all empeg related activity until I can get LED's that fit??
