Re: Troubleshooting
R14 reads 5v on the right side and the left fluctuates between .05 and .33
Should I replace C4 with another 10n ceramic capacitor?

Re: Troubleshooting
IC3 shows 0.1V / 0.0V / 0.1V for it's 3 pins I'm not sure how to tell which pin is 10 on IC1.

Re: Troubleshooting

I turned it around, and now am reading 2.8 across R2, and 1.15 across the IR LED. Still won't display anything.

Re: Troubleshooting
Ah, I had missed the solder bridge. Unfortunately that didn't fix the issue though. It looks like my IR LED is not working. What specifics should I look for in a replacement?
