I just  did the 1st aliment "smoke test".  Put power to it for the first  
time.  When I turn it on, after a second, something clicks.  The  display is lit 
but nothing else.  No letters or anything. Now what?   I wonder if it's one of 
those main chips.  I got this kit partially  assembled in a box.



If it is a K2 check that pin1 has been soldered on U1 the LCD driver on the  
K2 Front Panel board. I and number of other builders missed this  for some 
reason. Difficult to do afterwards as it needs the LCD display  removing to 
really get at it. However it is possible however to bypass this  point with care.
