ssr01 wrong output

[tamu]

I got the transistors from farnell/element14 so they should be all genuine..

[peranders]

Can you take some pictures of the board itself?

[tamu]

Nevermind the ugly wire solders :-D

DZ1, the LED, how is it mounted? Where is the cathode?

[tamu]

cathodes are both towards the mounting screws side. Im assuming if dz1 was wrong way around then it wouldnt blink when I first turn the power on.

[peranders]

R3 is really Red Red Black Brown Brown?

Can you take a really good close up picture from above of the LED's?

[tamu]

its red, red, black, brown, brown.

[peranders]

Is the cathode mark towards the text DZ1? See this picture: http://sjostromaudio.com/hifi_pics/hifi_100pr/ssr01r0_5V_LM431.jpg

[tamu]

yes, as I said before both the cathodes on leds are on the same side as the picture. you made me doubt myself so checked it again and again :-o

could the problem be the vr1?

[peranders]

Do you use LM431?

[tamu]

Um yes it's in the bom and the schematic. I think the one I have is lm431 aiz or something

[peranders]

Could you diode check the LED's? Do them emit light?

[tamu]

Dz1 is working but I cant get the h1 to work.. maybe Ill change it and see what happens.

[peranders]

If you test the H1 with the DVM at diode test, any weak light?

[tamu]

Yeah I did a diode check on both, got the dz1 to work but could not get the h1 to work.
