Doesn't work

[jcm...@aol.com]

HI

I just installed the classic N-tune in a Les Paul. The power works
(lights flashing ), but the tuner does not work. When I received the
tuner, the red wire was unattached to anything, and in fact cut off
cleanly at the end, i.e.never stripped or soldered anywhere. I
soldered this as per the drawing in the instructions, although this
was supposed to be done at the factory. Is there a chance the red wire
should have remained unconnected?
Thanks for any advice

It should have been soldered to the terminal indicated in the drawing.
I have had nothing but trouble with the red battery wire. I have 7 of these things, and the red battery wire (or power wire) is so cheap it does not tolerate much bending. I have notified Sam at N-tune. Apparently he's still out of town as he has not responded to any emails sent since he told me he was.
The circuit board is VERY sensitive to static electricity that's in your body so watch how you handle it. If the lights work I think your circuit board is ok, so that leads me to believe you have a signal path issue. Check the signal path, I use the wire that carries the signal to the output jack.; there is less confusion.. So go to the o/p jack, find the wire soldered to the tip terminal and break into the path there.
