TV-B-Gone failure

Post by Passedyouby »

Weird issue with my TV be gone..

I just assembled a TV b gone kit with my son. We finished the project and are having some issues getting any of our tvs to
turn off.

The green led flashes when the codes are being sent and I did confirm the
IRs are working properly (with a camera). The issue is that after the the green indicator led does its flashing, everything stops, 3 sec later it tries again, then 3 sec after that the led flashes at a steady and even rate.. kind of looks like an error code to me, but I can't find a troubleshooting guide.

Tips or tricks?

Could you post large (less than 1meg,~800x600), clear, detailed pictures of both sides of your board showing any soldering you have done and the connections to it?
