Cannot set time/date/etc

Post by dlakaplan »

My clock appears to work OK. The display works, and keeps time. I press "menu" to set the time, but pressing "set" does not register. I have tried to check all of the contacts on S2 but they seem OK. When I check the continuity on the pins of the switch directly, the switch works. Are there any other contact points that I can check to make sure that the switch is connected in? Are there any other components that could be the problem?

could it be the pin on the microcontroller socket isnt soldered or perhaps the pin is bent? what happens if you 'fake' the switch by shorting the two 'teeth' in front with a piece of wire?

Thank you for the info. I will double-check by shorting the switch. While pin(s) on the microcontroller should I check?

check the trace that leads back to the micro but you should check all the pins :)
