So I didn't have time to build the little MAS Tree dirty-boost until today after dinner.
The audio portion works just fine, but a few LEDs are not lighting up.
For those of you who aren't familiar, this little PCB Christmas-Tree ornament has a little chip that randomises a bunch of LEDs to light up at different times. The LEDs are set to light up in groups of three, and I've got three LEDs not lighting, so I'm guessing it's a power related thing as I doubt I'd have three different coloured LEDs that are duds.
I've reflowed every joint of LEDs and resistors, but it's late so I'll have to continue this shoot tomorrow and will post some more photos then. Having trouble with the phone not connecting to the forum right now...
There we go, now it's working again. Right! Managed to get a shot when they're all lit (except for the troublesome trio).
The painters tape with arrows shows the unlit bulbs.
Pics of the components side tomorrow...
