Hey Brett
If it turns out to be the transistor or diode I might be able to drop by one arvo and do the soldering if you need. You should buy a couple of transistors and diodes if you need them. Nothing worse than putting a new one in and blowing it straight away.

Thanks Dan I really appreciate that offer!
I don't trust myself with a brand new board. It came with a couple of spare components including a transistor, I am going to get in touch with Pascal Jamin as I can't really see where else it might be. There are plenty of instructions out there for testing an original board but not for the PI-1 X4.
Anyway we will keep at until an answer comes along.
I will keep you updated and may take you up on that offer.
Cheers: Brettski... :)
