I had this problem before most likely the solder joins. Just re-heat them just in case u have dry joins. Also make sure no legs r joining also all joins are fully connecting. Dont apply too much heat as u could lift pads. Are your pads ok?

hi thanks

theres no joining legs. how do i check the pads??

make sure the chip is on the right way round mate

Dot or mark should be inline with the small resistor. Did u go over the joins with the soldering iron so there no dry joins? U will get there dnt worry bout it.

error 40 = chip not right.

desolve the access flux off with meths ect, make sure no dry joints like prev posts.
