To all of you, thank you immensely for your help. After several of your comments I started getting real suspicious of my equipment after checking for the 20th time. Everything everyone was saying sounded logical but reality wasn't adding up. Turns out I've got a bad probe. After taking about a 15 minute break to mull over what everyone was saying, I rechecked everything again. You guys said the ground was the issue but nothing was changing on the display. Finally I decided to change out the probe. After switching it out, the problem went away. Glad it worked because I was really starting to question my sanity. Looks like the ground on that probe is bad. Thank you all once again for your patience and getting me to a solution! :) |

I was going to suggest changing out the probe if the last couple of things I mentioned weren't a problem. I'd traced out the circuit from your video and that was fine - so the probe was about the only thing left! Glad you got there - and you can pat yourself on the back for working it out! It's also a good lesson in questioning everything if something isn't making sense. |

Why did you delete video? I'm curious to see the problem. Also it may have educational value for future viewers if you described the problem in the video description. |

Nice to know, is usually quite a pain to detect a problem in what we think it's a "good known" that just started to fail. JS |
