as usual... it's a soldering issue. check your soldering and retry ;)

as Xecuter says... 99percent of the time stuff like this happeneds it's almost always a soldering issue.

just be carefull and use a 15watt soldering iron! dont use anything higher.

It is an install forum... however, you ARE supposed to read the FAQS, As they are there... so people don't need to ask the same question 100 times over. Goto FAQ... it's called "FRAG" Or click search and search it, if you need more info.

Yep my mistake there..
at the time it looked like it was posted in x3 bug reports maybe I had a window open behind it and just read the top of that one. SORRY!
it is the right forum but issue was also posted in 1.6b incident room too.
the response BTW was posted up on that thread.
