K8048 - Not working

I must have messed up pretty badly. The programmer never seemed to work. VR1 seems to get rather warm. And the LEDs never seem to indicate the status, like I never see the LD8 flash when try to read/write. LD9 seems like it’s almost always on, meaning I shouldn’t remove the PIC, sometimes even when it’s in stand-by mode. And LD7, the power LED goes from normal to dim depending on what’s happening. And LD9, does the opposite of LD7, most of the time LD9 is on, and it is very bright, especially when in PROG or RUN. I think I might have shorted something out while soldering. I really have no idea.

Have a look through the thread and post back with your results.

Hello,

It’s looks to me as a hardware problem with your K8048.
Please check the complete assembly and/or send the kit to us for a checkup or repair (via your local dealer if possible).
