Re: Problems with IR Board
We had a burning smell and got no response. We used a 9V battery.
We confirmed and doubled checked that the wiring was done correctly.
I did the wiring myself and had it doubled check by another Mentor.

We did find the the voltage regulator was lose when we first smelled it.
So we are assume the voltage regulator is fried, faulty or installed faulty.

SO if anyone knows how to get a replacement, or repair let us know.
