Hello,
I bought a tv-b-gone kit several monthes ago , and i do it only today !
(because i have also a classic tv-b-gone)
I have connected 3 x AAA batteries for more power, like written here http://learn.adafruit.com/tv-b-gone-kit/f-dot-a-q
After doing my utmost to respect the instructions, the kit doesn't work .
The green D5 led doesn't light-up , neither the IR-Leds (viewed with a camera)
Can you help me to make some tests .
A picture of my kit is jointed.
Many thanks

Re: help ! my kit doesn't work
The top side looks right. Are those fresh batteries? If you have a multimeter, check the voltage between the red wire and the black wire on the TVBGone.
I can't tell if the green LED is installed backwards - the flat side should be toward to black wire.
Transistor Q5 is different than the other 4 transistors. Make sure you have the right transistor in Q5.
Please post a picture of the solder side of the board.
