Sorry if this has been covered but i have gone thru the forums for a couple days looking...
First off i am using dmitri's build
first problem is that the led does not light up with or without the atmega plugged in
2nd when i plug the usb in it recognizes it on all my pc's and installs properly but then it acts as though i have unplugged it. a few seconds later its back in the device mgr then gone again. The crystal is 12.000 mhz and have already replaced it once. I have double checked for shorts and all resistors check out good. half the caps are also and will finish checking them out if needed. i checked out the top half of the board by the pic. any help would be great.
Edit: another interesting thing is when i plug the ICSP cable in, the board becomes stable.
update: tested all but inductor on board rechecked welds all good still no led light and usb restarting on its own.
