Todd_91 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi all.Just got an EDM-LCD-RDS-EP transmitter and did all the soldering. Plugged everything in like the instructions say but the unit will not power up. Any thoughts? I checked to make sure that the board was getting power and it is.Thanks,Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don Gillespie Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 doesn't hurt to recheck your solder job make sure the solder isn't overlapping each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Make sure you NEVER power up the transmitter without first having the antenna attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilM0nkey Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Did you check for ground as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisquit476 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Did you install the processors in the correct place and orientation? IIRC, they will go in either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_91 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks for all the tips. I went back and rechecked my solder joints and one of them must have been bad because it works fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
