I'll be up at B-HQ tomorrow, but I can make myself available on Friday or Saturday if you'd like to stop by.

That would be great, PM me your address and time for Friday.  Also can you grab any parts you think may be required.

Yup it's the LED.  touched it with a chopstick and it lit up and vice versa.

I know you're not going to like this, but that leads me to believe the problem is one of the solder joints around the LED, not the LED itself...

Adam is correct, that would nearly always be a funky solder joint.

Too late I already yanked that LED and tried to replace it with another that I pulled off from the previous board and it wouldn't light up at all.  Paul make sure you grab some LED's to bring to your place for tomorrow.

I assume you meant to write: "Paul, I would be grateful if you could please bring some LEDs to your place tomorrow."

Yes, and appreciative.  ;D

I'm usually not that rude.  Many other things going right now that have caused my gratitude to go out the door.  My apologies Paul and Doc if I have come across rude or unappreciative.

Paul has already built a completely new board for the repair.
