Hello all! I built my device. Soldered everything as per instructions. I get the green led flashing, but my 4 leds do not fire. I check with multiple cameras and multiple TVs and it fails test 2. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you..

Please post some nice clear photos of the front and back of your board & we'll take a look.

Re: no LEDs working
The soldering looks good. Check the markings on the transistors. Q5 should be different from the rest.

Re: no LEDs working
The next most likely problem then is that your processor is not working. If you contact [email protected] with a link to this thread, we can send a replacement TV-B-Gone processor chip.

Re: no LEDs working
Hello all! I sent an email to support last week in regards for a replacement processor! Today I received the processor. I installed the new processer and now it doesn't do anything, no blinking green led or anything! I put back the old processor back in and the green led works! Did I get a DOA chip?? please help! Thank you!!

Hmm. That's not good. Let me check with our production folks on that.

Re: no LEDs working
Green LED did not light when I did first test, nor did the other 4 after I completed assembly. I have checked all solder connections 3 times. Attached are photos of front & back taken 4/5/2015. Based on my 35 years of building kits, fact that there were so few components and having read prior posts which indicate that you have encountered bad processors, I suspect a bad processor in my kit. Should I email support and ask for a replacement kit? Here are front & back pics of my assembled kit:
