Can you post a picture of the small chip with a light behind the board?  It is tough to focus but might shed some light on things.  Bad pun!

[sabie]

i can't post any more photos i've sent the board to have someone look at it and see if they can spot the problem

thanks for everyones help when we find out what is wrong i will post what we found

It must be a software setup issue as I have it running a show outputting DMX fine on my bench out of the box.

I have since built two and have them running with LOR S3 3.8 and Windows XP and switch.  Been running for days.  I switch them every few days and they keep ticking. If the unit works for RJ it must be a how LOR is configured,  cat5 cable or the PC.  I had to use a regular cat 5 cable as a crossover would not even work.

Hopefully something here helps.
