I got a ST microcontroler that is stuck in low.
If you look at the attached image pin 36 seems to connect to the base of an NPN transistor and at the same time connects to ground.
Pin 35 is the reset, seems to connect to the emitter.
The NPN collector if feed from a 5v rail.
If I momentarily short the reset pin to the 5v rail then disconnect it the IC boots up.
The transistor circuit itself cannot boot the IC but manually I can do it.
Anyone out there with some ideas of what could be going wrong here?
