VK8044 Light effect generator

Hello, i have assembled the kit but when i apply the 12 volt power nothing happens. I have selected the maximum channel and i put a 12 v led stripe on the output. Nothing happens, no power light. The voltageregulator gets very hot and its output is 5Volt. Anyone a idee?

If the regulator get’s hot, there must be a short circuit on the PCB, check all components again and solderjoints.
Maybe you can post some pictures ?

how can i post pictures? i don’t see any possibility to put a attachement

Use a free picture base and post a link.

If the regulator get’s hot, There must be a short circuit on the PCB, If There is no any short circuit on the PCB then check all components again and solderjoints are joint to PCB or not.
