Kliche - No Power (SOLVED)

[Stevohuff]

Kliche build - no power or signal passes.

Anything glaringly obvious before I got the DMM route to find something?


I put the LED in sort of a temp spot until I can get the bezel in the mail, I also swapped out the charge pump IC with a spare in case that was bad, not sure where else to check?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Your power jack is wired backwards.

yep, you made black to + and red to - ... so colorwise the "right" wiring on your DC jack but not on the PCB. So swap your wiring on the PCB or on the DC jack. It doesn't matter. Change what's easier for you.

Yikes, well that’s embarrassing haha

I’m going to put it together here shortly -

While I’m at it, I may have a fix for the LED placement -

If I run wires with the LED being placed in this daughter board, will that cause any issues?

Also, is it best practice to run the wire behind on the solder side, or the component side?

Ps thanks for the help!!

Yep, that fixed it!

Any input on the LED placement?
