Make sure you don't have any nasty little solder bridges, and check your connections with a multimeter.

Got mine about a week ago?
Put together the left and right boards for the portable NES except the tact switches.
I'm going to order the cnc kit with led's and switches from ben.
Great job on the book by the way.

does any one know what cap to use?
and where to place it.
i just picked up an extra top loader at a yard sale for $10.
I would like to try and fix the lines

For hand built portable NES.
Page 158 say's only 1 uf capacitor 50v
can I use a 1 uf 63v cap, or a 2.2 uf 50v cap or do I have to use the one that you see in the book?
If so where can I find one? Radioshack doesn't have one.
