Can you please

1) check the firmware version at power up screen
2) post clear photos of your board(both sidea)
3) check VGEN again with LCD plugged in

Thank you for your answer:

1) As it can be seen in the next picture, the firmware is 113-13801-045

2) The Front side: (https://www.dropbox.com/s/pvvj7rihr3x7t ... 0.jpg?dl=0)
The Back side (although the soldering is ugly for the several times resoldered transistors, I have checked all connections and continuities: (https://www.dropbox.com/s/kw292w733ir65 ... 8.jpg?dl=0)

3) VGEN is 1.01 V when the LCD is plugged in and 0V when it unplugged.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for the photos. So VGEN is there although a little higher than usual. Can you please check the few voltages related to Q2 & Q1 as stated in the first post of this thread? Please measure from the back since LCD has to be plugged in.

At the end it was bad soldering on U3 (bad 3.3V signal). Now it works nice.

Thank you for all your support and patience. An oscilloscope under 30$ is pretty awesome

What could be wrong? What settings should pay attention to?I do not have time to be measured before the transistor burns.

I have the same problem. Burnt out the Q1 with some smoke on it. Also L2 was too hot. Before that the oscilloscope booted up but after burning, there is only the backlight. What should I do, please could someone help me?

This issue seems to be fairly common and I'm not sure what the issue is. I think the engineering is good but perhaps the parts quality is poor. I have 30 years of technician experience and would consider myself to be an excellent soldering guy. Put the kit together carefully double checking component values and placement. Did the required preliminary voltage checks and assembled the LCD. Scope came on fine but had no trace so according to the provided instructions I came to this thread to troubleshoot. No AV- was the issue. Found the output of pin 46 good at +.81 vdc. base of Q2 was less that that. replaced Q2 with a suitable substitute and had -1.37vdc at Q2 base. output still bad at Q2 collector. Verified output components and soldering and replaced Q1. Had the same problem. I rechecked solder connections and component placement and eventually the scope had smoke and died all together. I removed the LCD and found U5 hot to the touch. I removed the short at jumper 4 and got u5 operating again. Some simple checks after removing capacitors at the input of the microprocessor showed an internal short so now I'm left with a dust collector! Perhaps JYEtech can explain what this common problem is and what they intend to do about it. Seems that the buyer should have some level of confidence that they are not buying a suspect item from the start. Please advise if you would...

Did you see any problem with AV- before the LCD was put on? No AV- could cause no trace. But no trace is not always caused by bad AV-.

I have a random noise, but no signal.
I've burnt my U5 and replaced it already, also failed to identify U2 pin1 and had to replace it too.
Now all voltages are good except AV- (TP26, -2.54V, should be -5V ) and V- (TP25, -2.02V, should be -8V). Could it be the failed D1?

Did you check the voltages according to the first post of this thread?
