As suggested you need to check each of the triacs bolted to the heatsink and use a mag glass to verify the correct number. I worry you have got a regulator mixed up with the triacs.

Verify this first and then get yourself setup for teamspeak if you are not already.

Let me know I will try to set a time to meet you for some troubleshooting.

That is why I love this place.  I do have a regulator mixed with the triacs.  I will fix and let you know

Great job RJ.

Tigman009,

Since both leds for the voltage regulators are out, is it possible that you've got the other voltage regulator also in the wrong spot?

Just checkin.

Additionally,  I know this is not causing your "no power" issue but just wanted to be clear from previous post. Looks like center posts on 1,2,3,4 and 12 triacs need to be checked/ re-soldered. Also noticed that you may have a solder bridge on the pic between pins 22 and 23. See pic.

Yes, I do not think we need the heatsinks removed but everyone should not be afriad to turn their irons up really high to solder the triacs middle leg. I do it last and crank my iron from the normal 330 - 340 C to 390 C to do these. put the iron on the side of the power trace to isolate the lead and solder it.

Maybe we could add this info to the manual.

I also found out that a couple of people had one too many triacs and no 7805 regulator in the kit so when your building you need to read each part and not assume the last part has to be correct.  check you parts like the manual says "before you start assembly"

If you do not have the right count you should catch this at the inventory before you start and let the coop manager know so he can fix it.

Thanks for all of the input.  Do to my working schedule I will not be able to fix this until Sunday night.  I will keep you posted.

Once I re-located the two triacs to where they were supposed to be in the first place, I now have power.  I can't thank RJ and the rest of the group enough.  In case you can't see it, I am smiling from ear to ear.  Thanks again
