We do not sell assembled kits. If you post on General Project Help, some forum member may be able to put one together for you.

Go back through and reference the schematic and make sure you don't have anything backwards. There are a couple of electrolytic capacitors that are polarized and a diode that could pretty easily have been installed backward, not to mention the IC which goes into a socket could also be unintentionally be installed backward. There is also the slight possibility that if something was heated too much when you soldered everything together, that could also damage some components but I don't believe there is anything particularly heat sensitive on this board, which the exception (Maybe) of the LT1302. But, as previously mentioned, you should have gotten a socket for that so you wouldn't actually be soldering directly to the pins of the IC. I've attached the schematic here in case you're still trying to sort out your kit.
