Alright so
this is all I get when I plug in batteries. Now they both look red to me, I am colourblind though so it could be something else. It's a bit hard to see in the photo I'll see if I can get a better one...
Second, is that third (top) little pad meant to be an LED too? The manual mentions 'All' as opposed to 'both' LEDs going one when programming is successful. Either way, there doesn't seem to be one there... maybe it fell off with all the heat of desoldering the original hookup wires. Surely if that is meant to be an LED it wouldn't affect the main functionality of the unit?
