Rat doesn't work

[Harry Klippton]

No power, LEDs won't light up, doesn't pass signal, bypass doesn't work, and broken traces. I think there might be a short between head and ass

What voltages are you getting? I suspect the output buffer.

A short between head & ass? I can’t seem to make heads or tails of it Will.

Is this why you don’t like the Rat?

 

[BuddytheReow]

You may need a new solder sucker to swap those components out! I do see a couple cold joints

A man of your ability and you've used non conductive fencing wire? Always check for continuity or you ain't going to Boomtown

 

[Coda]

Is your 308 counterfeit?...

 

[paulvsnow]

excellent, I enjoy this a lot

 

[EGRENIER]

Clean it up with ISO first, let us know how that goes

But hey, no white washer!

Looks like it might have been fried by overvoltage.

I wouldn't bother trying to troubleshoot. Put it in the 'save-for-later' bin and try to make another one.

Gonna have to de-goop that and see what's going on inside.

Uh oh, that triggered a tune…

Take a look at my last three rat builds. They are all working good. Maybe you can see where you went wrong.

I like the one in the middle with the dual Red LED !

I think if you manage to salvage it, it's going to sound brittle!

¡¡ ¡¡ ¡¡ NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO !! !! !!

¡ EES NO RAT, WAS MUY FILIGREE SIBERIAN HAMSTER !

¡¿¡ WOT HEV YOO DON TO EET !?!

Any updates on this? I don't think this is a clone. It looks like a real rat. Maybe send an email to Proco to see if they'll still fix it under warranty. Weirdly, I don't think JHS covered this version in their history of the rat video.

More visual inspection required. Can we get a look at the back side?

I think your Faraday cage is contacting the guts. And your wiring looks kinda... biodegradable?
