[Elecraft] K2 building mistake - my blindspot

[Stan AE7UT]

Just finished the first part of the K2 build.
Fired it up and the LCD was not working.
The end of a 2 day search was a single IC pin not soldered.

This is the second time I've missed an IC pin that tripped me up.
I swear I check them and I swear I recheck them!
The one I missed was the worst possible one - U1 under the LCD and
backlight.
I carefully removed the LCD and backlight which was a miserable task.
SOLDERED the lone pin and now it's working FB.

It's frustrating to keep doing the same stupid thing.
At least this time I found the problem and fixed it on my own.
