Re: gated comparator stuck

2004-03-07 by sasami@hotkey.net.au

In order for the output to be around 15V, there MUST be a short circuit. It
may be internal to one or more components, or on the PCB - an etching fault
(like a hair lice copper bridge under the solder mask) or a soldering bridge.

Is the LED lit? It should be introducing a voltage drop if it is. Is the
wire connected to the right spot?
