LCD top row is blocks, bottom row is blank
Piotr Skarpetowski
Hello,
I've already assembled recently received 40m band QCX TRX(T1.00e). When I power it up I am getting "LCD top row is blocks, bottom row is blank" as it is described in https://qrp-labs.com/qcx/qcxtrouble.html I do have exactly the same behaviour as Karlis(https://groups.io/g/QRPLabs/topic/23353220?p=,,,50,0,0,0::relevance,,%23qcx,50,2,50,23353220,ct=1&ct=1) who described his problem. When I am trying to listen about 20Mhz crystal, there is nothing, It is not oscillating. Is there a way to check that AVR is not empty without using programmer? If not I will buy one. -- 73 de SQ5JUP, Piotr

Piotr, My 40M QCX had the same symptoms. I did carefully check my solder work as recommended and also performed a reset. None of these steps made any improvement. I asked Hans for a new EPROM which he promptly supplied. All is well now. Best wishes and good luck. Jeff WV9X
