Hey,

I just bought the Blue Dream and fully assembled it. I've ran through all the soldering points and they appear to be ok. But when I plug it in, nothing happens. There doesn't seem to be any trouble shooting guides or help of the like so I turned here. Anyone have a good suggestion where to start?

Is the board getting power? I.e. have you tested with a voltmeter that the DC adapter works? Simple I know....

Hello,
Which Blue Dream do you have?
The IN-18 or the small one?

For the small one there should be a test point TP1 for the high voltage (180V).
The rectified input voltage and the 5V can be checked on IC2 (the 7805 or equivalent IC).

On the IN-18 there are separate test points for 12V, 5V and 170V.

Hi,
Is there a schematic for the In-18 Blue Dream clock?
Don,

The problem was solved, it turned out to be my adapter.
