Installed the PIN Header and all other cables etc and turned it on only with one LED on the chip. Initially it was only booting MS Dash, but then stopped doing this and only fragging.

What does it mean if only one blue LED is on? Check the soldering?

Also i noticed on of my tracks (namely: the one on the top right corner of the PCB - LAD2 i think it is).

Should i be testing this with a multimeter? or using nail polish to stick the track back down?

Help is appreciated guys.

when you have only 1 light on the chip it means the chip is not powering up properly. find out if its the 5v or the 3.3v led that's not lighting up and then you can find out the correct way to fix the power problem

Exactly

And.. I get a little tired of all the flaming that goes on here, but this has been discussed MANY, MANY times just this week.

Use the search button just a little more..

What about it, did it get up and do the hokey poky or something? Sorry, but you’re not being very clear.

Did you lift the trace, or burn it? If so, that’s what the problem is.

the trace was lifted in the process of me attempting to solder. not sure if it is als burnt though...i will do a continuity test tonite.

sorry for being repetitive guys.

thanks for your help.
