Re: A guide on how to troubleshoot 2 seconds to black
Part 3
Misc suggestions
1) Post clear focused pictures in the following format. Please DO NOT post pictures inline as they slow down the loading of pages.
For best picture quality and clarity take your boards to a window on a sunny day, turn flash off, and use macro mode. Take a top down view of all your boards (front and back). Make sure the photo is legible so that we can read the PCB printing clearly. A shutter speed of 1/125 or faster will produce nice clear focused pictures. Try to get a photo that is 2000x2000 resolution and less than 2MB or as close as possible.
Here is an example of the picture composition we want.

2) Use clear coherent language with grammar and punctuation. If you can't articulate your problem, no one can or will help you.
3) Make an effort and do some research before posting.
4) If you are new, please read the FAQs before posting. You are more likely to get help if you do.
5) Post MORE information that little. A post that says "MY MONITOR DOES NOT WORK. HELP ME" is likely to be ignored. The more information you give, the better.
