Ant Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Very weird this, my board was all working last week, was sat on the sofa in a very cold room since then, no heating etc, and went to it today to find 2 of the leads don't work Had to pull the whole board apart to find which two it was as well!!! Nightmare!!!!!!! So, any ideas as to what happened? So it doesn't happen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Have you tried re-using the same leads (i.e. the "broken" ones) on the same board? Sometimes you can set up a sort of standing charge that blocks the signal. If you completely disconnect everything, and then re-connect the same components in the same order using the same cables it all works again. One of many reasons I don't bloody like electricity.

essexbasscat Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Connect multimeter to both ends of one core of a lead. Carefully bend sections of the lead, thereby identifying area of lead with intermittent connection. Repair. Or just get new ones from OBBM !
