[Resolved] Rotary encoder not working

[CRNorris]

Hi,

I'm building an FG805 from a kit.

I've got as far as turning it on for the first time to check it's working. All the buttons are working, the screen works, it all seems ok, except that the rotary encoder isn't doing anything.

It doesn't have any effect if I turn it or press it.

What can I do about this? I don't think I can use this device for anything at the moment.

Thanks!

I guess I'll return it then

Can you check the soldering of diode D9 (please see attachment for circled component)? It might be open.

[CRNorris]

Thanks very much for replying, I hadn't returned it just yet.

That diode was gone! Looks like it fell off.

I replaced it with the only diode I had spare, which was quite a bit bigger. The unit seems to be working fine now.

Sorry to know that the diode was gone. Please contact JYE Tech at jyetech@163.com. We'll be happy to mail you a SMD diode so that it can be fixed properly. There is no charge for the replacement.
