Crack-Speedball V1.0, No right Channel, A8 LED Not Lighting [resolved]

Hello,

After a year of no issues with the crack amp w/ speedball, turning the amp on one day resulted in with less than whisper quiet sound in the right channel. I noticed that the A8 led was not lighting. After checking many wires and finding some that needed re-soldered due to joints that dislocated with a slight nudge I have not solved the problem. I have replaced the A8 Led due to what looked to be a bad connection from the wire to the light housing. I checked the led before soldering and it lit up with my multi-meter. Here are the voltages readings. (Reading are right number)

1  75  (176.5)
2  170  (181.5)

B1  5  (175.6)
B2  170  (180)
B3  100  (174)

Also note, when re-soldering I did not have the speedball manual but I dont believe that I misplaced any wires. When I went to download the file from my account my browser crashed and I had lost the file! Google Chrome wasn't working so I used internet explorer to download it, serves me right. It would be fantastic if I could have another file so I can double check the wiring if there does not seem to be a clear fix.

With great thanks,

Jacob


 
It's also possible that the solder joint on the center leg of the MJE350 feeding that channel could use some reheating.
