    Hi Windell,
    Thanks for the response. I think I will simply order some pre-flashed replacement chips, are you able to send a link to where I can buy some?

    In addition to the above I will also buy x2 power sources that you recommended previously, are you able to send a link for this also?

    Kind regards,

    Hugh

    HI again,

    Thanks for the comment Windell.

    I’ve tested my power source and as far as I can tell the power source is fine. I tested it using the guidelines in this YouTube video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw52SsP88cU

    However after doing some testing i noticed when my dc supply was set to 5 volts it was outputting 6.22 volts. I have tested the DC plug also on 3v, 4.5v, 5v 6v, 9v and 12v and each time it is outputting at least 1 volt more than is listed (although i feel like this is standard).

    Could this be the reason the boards fried? Surely not?
    -With this in mind would you consider just ‘re-flashing the boards’. If so are you able to run me through the process?Alternatively what would you suggest?

    Thank you very much for your help I greatly appreciate it!

    Best,

    Hugh
