Ice Tube Clock - Failing Beep Test

[R3c3rx]

Hello, I am working through the build and am up to the point of testing after soldering the buzzer, IC, and R1. My initial tests of the 7805 were both good.
When I plug the board in I am not hearing anything from the buzzer.
Any other tests I can perform?
Two pics attached.

Thank you!

Where did you purchase the kit? The tube board should be separated from the main board. Yours appears to be still attached.

Hi Bill, I purchased the clock from adafruit. I just received it Saturday.
I just looked at the board and you are right, the rounded board was still connected but all it took was a light snap to disconnect it. It came apart cleanly so maybe it was just wasn't properly separated prior to shipment. Anyway, please let me know what I can do to troubleshoot the beep not working on startup.

Thanks for your help!

The component placement looks right. Your solder joints look a bit 'frosty'. Are you using lead-free solder?

The joints appear to be well-formed for the most part. But with lead/tin solder, a frosted surface can mean a 'cold' joint. Lead-free solder always looks that way.

Yes, lead free. I was wondering about that but I read online that lead-free tends to look that way. I am using the lead-free solder I ordered from adafruit.
Again, the voltage tests worked fine and the next step was soldering the buzzer, R1 and the IC. The voltage tests still read fine but I wasn't sure how else to test anything.

Thanks.

Since everything looks good otherwise, I'm going to guess you have a bad processor there - possibly not programmed right. If you contact [email protected] with a link to this thread we can send a new one out to you.

Will do, thanks for your help!

Just an update.. received the replacement chip, tested perfect. Finished putting the kit together and the clock works great. Thank you for the help!
