KX1 - Display partially works

[K Price]

I have just completed the 2nd phase and am at the Alignment/Testing  Phase II.  
When I powered up the radio in Phase I the display appeared  to function
normally and all parts of it lit up.  For Phase II the  bottom row of the
display no longer lights up.  Otherwise, the display  functions as you would
expect.  I have checked for solder bridges and  shorts but do not see anything.  


Thoughts?

Thanks,

  Kieth,

The most likely problem is that you failed to solder pin 1 of either the
display itself or the resistor pack directly bellow it.  Pin 1 of both
are associated with the "d" segment (lowest horizontal segment) of the 7
segment display.

Pin 1 has a round pad while the rest are rectangular, so it is often
overlooked.
