Long Range LEDs not working.
Hi, I built my TV B Gone kit and everything was working fine until about a day after I completed it and I noticed that the Long range blue LEDs were no longer firing. Everything else on the board works and it still turns off TVs, but I would like for everything to work. Thanks, Ian

Update:
I tested the contacts and leds with a multimeter and the current is making it through the diode and is similar to the current running through the working diodes. The leds continue to not fire despite the current running through them.

Re: Long Range LEDs not working.
Hmmm. What are you using to power the TVBGone?

The standard battery tray and 2 fresh AA batteries.

Re: Long Range LEDs not working.
Could you post clear, detailed pictures of both sides of your board showing any soldering you have done and the connections to it?
