V3 not booting

Hello,

I have a freshly installed v3 I’m having some issues with. I have double checked my wiring for the correct pads/no bridging, and the board is getting power (the green indicator light comes on when I hit the kill switch) but the board does not boot. It also does not play the boot sound when plugged into my PC via USB. I can flash to the board just fine and it still shows up in arduino and in my computer’s COM ports.

Any ideas on what I can try? I’m hoping I’m just missing something very basic.

What does Serial Monitor say?
Did you try turning on the blade at all?
Maybe something with the speaker is bad.
Maybe the font your first preset has set doesn’t have a boot sound?
Did you try cycling through presets?

Ah. It was a config issue. It is now booting, but without any sound. I can try to replace the speaker, but is there anything I can test via serial monitor first?

Well yeah, see if it looks like it is running normally. You should see messages like

You could also remove DISABLE_DIAGNOSTIC_COMMANDS from your config temporarily and type
effects
and see if there’s any issues

That sort of stuff.
See if it’s just your sound.
Does the blade light up?
Can you cycle through presets?
Do all that while connected and see what Serial Monitor says is happening.

Yes, I’m getting all that through serial monitor. I have not tested main blade but the chassis accent LEDs are working as normal and I can cycle through presets just fine.

ok, so it’s just the sound then, yes?
I’d swap the speaker first.
Test the spkr pads with a multimeter.
Look really closely for stray wire strands causing shorts,
and so on.
