First, find where the short circuit is! The transistor should not get hot.

Had i 'working' , as far as i can understand it so far , but the bottom section LED was not working.While i was trying to troubleshoot that problem , i noticed i had omitted the link that's between the RATE pads on the PCB and the 22K trimmer.When i put that link in , every thing seems to have stopped working and the BC547 in the 6V section directly above the 6.8K resistor is getting very hot under power.Should i replace the BC547 , not too sure how to proceed.
