K1 build Alignment and Test Part II

John Wiener
Just did all the resistance checks after visual inspection.

About to do DC measurements and I note BLANK LCD...it is lit but no  
error message.

Had the LCD working during Alignment and Test Part I

Where should I begin my " quest "  ?

Thanks

John,

The most obvious is to begin looking critically at your soldering.  
Things that worked the last time it was tried and now do not work
usually add up to a bad or intermittent connection.  Check the front
panel board over carefully, and examine pin 1 of each IC, the round
solder pad at the pin 1 location is often skipped and later found
unsoldered.
