Faulty mosfet?

Post by Bronnz »

This might be a very silly question, but how sensitive are the mosfets Q1 and Q5 for the injector drivers? I'm having problems getting INJ1 working, and plugging in the Stim shows me there's no LED lighting for I1. I've traced the circuit through, checked for dry joints, even changed Q1 for a new one, but still the same. Wondering if I've fried it soldering it in?
(I'm building an ms2 v3.0, but haven't even got to producing any logs yet!)

I would be checking the small transistors nearby for shorts. (Q10 etc.)
