What is causing the failure?
I found that the ic chips were not fully in and here is the results after pushing them in

Voltages at position
A= 1.67V
B=0.454V
C=4.3V
D=3.007V
E=-2.6V
F=-5.2V
Please check that there is -5.2V on pin 4 of IC2.
Also make sure that the orientation of IC2 is correct:
Thank you for the feedback and the photo.
IC2 has correct orientation.
0.709V on PIN 4.
Is there anything else I need to check?
Mean while I will check solder joints and tidy up.
This voltage should be found on pin 4 of IC2 too.
Please check the connection between point F and pin 4 of IC2.
point F is now 0.709V, when I measure at point F with ground of multimeter on the negative point where two oscillicope leads are.
If I measure over the zener diode I see 0.709V
5.12V over zener when power is on.
Now I have -5.12V at point F.
I now have -5.2V at IC2 pin 4. I have not changed anything so confused.
Hi
One other point is that I am using a USB 3 connection.
Does this influence the board?
At present I have all the correct voltages at points A through to F and at IC2 pin 4.

The USB cable can be connected to USB 3 socket of the PC without any problem.
There may be some bad soldering on the board or solder bridge …
Well bad soldering is sure a possibility.-)
Please check IC1 orientation.
Notch is facing the capacitor bank.

This result may indicate that there is no +5V on pin 8 of IC2.
IC1 orientation seems to be OK.
+5.027V is on PIN 8 of IC2

OK - Please check the voltage on pin 1 of IC2.
There should be about 1.6V.
