Hey All,
I'm hoping someone can give me a hand diagnosing my problems. I'm not very good with this stuff - I have gone through and checked all the resistors. I tried checking the voltages but I may be doing it wrong. I used a multimeter set to DCV (both at 2 and 20) and tried to check the voltages from the chart that I've seen linked. I put one lead on the 12V pin and the next lead on the furthest right of the 3 pins from the folded over chip. My limited understanding of electronics says that this should be 12V but I don't really get a good reading. Am I doing this wrong?
My meter was working fine for probably about 10 cooks and then stopped working in the middle of one. It turns on and starts of the server but nothing comes on the screen. Typically none of the LEDs come on although sometimes the yellow and red stay on. When i go to the server in my web browser it says that i have a possibly hardware issue or i need to load the software. I've loaded the software already ( back when it was working) but if I try to reload it I get the "AVR fuses ERROR".
Any ideas for me other than starting with a fresh board? Here are pics of both sides of the board - was my first attempt at soldering so no mocking .
Thanks to anyone who takes some time for me.
