Hope everything works out. That's a bummer. I thought I f*cked my board when I was taking it out. I was down too. But once I got them working, it was well worth it. GL to ya.

Do you have any close ups on the ICs (chips) on the right of that board I want to see what they are exactly.

glad u got them going but like e60 bimmer said, i think ur leds are upside down. they have to be all connected correctly. use a multimeter and test which is positive and connect them that way. easier than trying to do trial and error. pretty sure ur fds with degrees in this stuff will be able to take care of it. keep posting!!

Still rather stuck mate. Got to the point where i think the board is pritty much dead! So left it with a mate who may well make up a board of his own for me with 2 pin LED's in that will fit in place of the original and feed off the same power supply. And as the brow's dont chuck up errors it might well work
