  The continuity and insulation of the +/- of the Power Supply connections is where I'd start.

The indication LED's blown ...  :icon_mrgreen:
I'll change it  ;D
Update : Those idiots at the china factory didn't solder the 330 ohm resistor and the led had a solder bridge direct to ground , so it got a full 9V .  :icon_mrgreen:
Replaced it with a 5mm Clear Blue and now it works .
