I'm having a problem

Beanbag109:
I just finished my V2 board last night. I plugged in 12v power, and nothing (no lights). Well the voltage regulator started to heat up quick and hot (heat sink is installed),so I unplugged it. I was in full OCD mode while soldering. All solder joints look great.

Where/what should I do to start to solve this?

Thanks for any advice

Mike

Make sure the voltage regulator is not installed backwards and that nothing is shorted.

Post some pictures of both sides of the board.

I'll post pictures when I get home. I installed the VR just like the pucture showed in the bulid instructions.

At 12 volts it will get warm but it should not get hot. Please post good quality pictures when you can.
