Let me know what needs to be done to save it and let me know how much you need to repair it.
I'll make a paypal payment for your work.

Thanks again, I really appreciate all your help.

I will try to repair it tomorrow.

I re-soldered both diodes.
I replaced the 20 MHz crystal by a 16 MHz crystal.
I changed the Atmega32.

Your MegaDrum works perfectly now ! ;)

EXCELLENT!, So bottom line, all I had to do originally was flip the diodes? Was the atmega32 bad? or did it get damaged?

The Atmega has a problem, may be due to static electricity.

You paid only the Atmega and the shipping cost.
The labor is free. ;)

I will PM you.

Please send me a paypal invoice to the same address you sent the initial invoice too, I don't want to post the paypal name here, so if you don't have it, let me know and I will PM it to you
