Info message 090

[Mike Short]

I fired up the partially assembled K2 I purchased, and I get an info message
090.

Says it is an EEPROM test #1 failed. Also the display is does not show all
segments, and the

Tuning knob has no effect. I did a complete reset with no effect. I am at
Alignment and Test Part 1.

Mike,

My recommendation is that you carefully examine the work done so far.  Check
each solder connection and check each component for proper value and
placement in the correct holes.  Trust that nothing is correct until you
have verified it.

If the display is not showing all segments, try soldering the pins from the
top of the board.  The LCD pins do not stick very far through the board and
the solder junction can look OK, but be bad because the pin was not heated
sufficiently.

Good hunting.
