Can you tell if the 3V3 linear regulator is coming up? If it's
not, then the MPU won't come up and turn on power hold.
I built a QMX low band in the summer with no issues. So, I bought
a high band kit for Christmas and after building it, I see
nothing. No bootloader, no start, nothing on the display.
Comparing the two, on the second build, there is nothing at all on
the 3.3V rail, it draws about 8.5mA while pressing the left
encoder to power up, then nothing when I release the button.
Unwisely maybe, I tried substituting all the individual boards
from the new build into the earlier main board, and everything
works there, so it must be some sort of fault on the new main
board. I can't see anyone else with this issue on the forum, has
anyone else seen this? Advice welcomed, at the moment it's sitting
there useless!
