Resolved by DJ Sures!
I got my head all back together and the neck, etc. I have a battery going through a 640 ohm resistor to a female extention plug. I plug this in to test the LEDs. Each one worked very good but one did not. I checked reverse polarity on the circuit and the LED worked. I did not want to take the head all apart again (hassel). So , I simply turned the plug around not realizing if i were hurting something or not. But, it did not seem that it would damage the EZB because I was simply swapping ground and signal. I can't see very well, I may have plugged a plug in shifting one pin over. that would connect ground to hot or signal to hot.
Anyway, boiling it down, All of my digital pins do not work anymore.
Any ideas? I am thinking voltage regulator blown, I hope it is not the cpu. I am going to run the test that D.J. has and try to figure it out. The lights blink red and blue and it connects up. So , the bluetooth is working.
Wish me luck.
I was so happy. But , it was short lived. My digital ports do not work. I have only an LED hooked to them. It won't turn it on and off. All of the voltages are measuring fine. I just did a check and Most ports are not working. Only a couple of them. Please Help! This is getting old.
I have turned in a notice to the staff, but I haven't heard from them.
Thank you,
Mel
Anybody?

You have an email....
Thank You, Mark.
@mel go ahead and replace the regulator. Testing components that are going bad or are damaged can result in erratic malfunctions. Do the suggested repairs then go from there
Thanks, Josh. The factory has said that they would repair it and will give me an RMA. I am affraid that if I try to fix it, they will not work on it after that. But, there is the waiting thing. I hate to wait. I am the worlds most impatient man. I can help it. I am wired this way.
I just found out something else. The cheapest shipping with a tracking # =$25.17. I am not going to pay over $50 to have it repaired. I may try those regulators.
Hi Mel, Totally up to you, however we will not repair the board after someone else has altered it in any way. If you are confident in your abilities, that would be the cheaper way to go.
