Today I built 4 mux boards and only one works at IC111 so now for me I'm going to going down the route of bad SMD practices. This afternoon I desoldered all componants from 10 mux boards and I've found a local electronics engineer who will do the work for me. Hopefully this will put to bed a lot of speculation - from myself - and they will all come back working.

My guess: a broken trace. ;)

Since this is one of the poorly engineered early PCB version, I doubt that a broken trace couldn't also happen to Vincent. ;)

The wire is connected between PIN3-8. Looking at the bottom layout these two pins are connected by a trace. So that red wire replaces the trace. ;)

No. Visually and continuity checked to the header. Only thing I did different to Vincent's guide was hook up the right board to the closest + G - pads.
