Digital Sidecar Problems

Hey Guys I think something is definitely wrong with both of our digital sidecars but wanted to get ur opinion.

We couldn't get our programs to work for three days with Labview. The example programs didn't even work! They downloaded by all the victor and jaguars had no signal. Turns out, after we removed the jumper next to the pwm pin for the servo, things magically started working. So we got everything to work except for the servos (since we can't connect the jumper else everything will not work). The watchdog timer light didn't turn on so it's not a software issues (especially since it works if we remove the jumper using the same program).

We also noticed through our trouble shooting that the BAT and 6V lights on the digital sidecar do not light up. Are they suppose to? Is the 6V suppose to light up with the jumpers (it doesn't)? But the 5V light is on.

Are both of our digital sidecars defective? Anyone else have this problem?
