[Elecraft] KX1 Seating U1 (Menu display looks odd)

[Koaps]

So I was able to set U1 lower in the socket, it looks
like its deeper on one side then the other.

I did a power on test and there was no smoke, I saw
E10 and Batt Lo, and the numbers on the display
changing when I move the encoder dial, but in the menu
there's some things not right.

I can see some menu choices are correct, like
Led(spelled LEd), I was able to set batt to a lower
voltage ok, I'm using the 6 cells at 9v so I set it to
8v.

Some of the menus where not displayed right, missing
bars or just plan wrong looking, things like STL/STP,
would be S-L S-P, the T-R was totally incorrect, ATU,
RCL and others were not correct.

I don't know if I'm having a seating issue still,
damaged U1 or if something else is wrong, like a poor
connect on one of the resister packs.

I will check the connections again but any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Chris
