Re: Problems with IR Board
you just need to somehow find a replacement 5V regulator and replace the old one.

I recommend using a solder sucker to remove the old one. as for finding a 5V L805 or equivalent... I have no idea where to find one. I just salvaged one from some old board lying around. I looked at Radio Shack, but I did not see any.

I have already fixed our board twice. It was the 5V regulator both times.

It's too bad FIRST did not design the board with a diode to prevent accidental reversed polarity.
