[QUOTE="Einstein, post: 91579, member: 288"] Well, my common sense approach actually worked. This is really weird. I soldered 2 two foot wire lengths to a 1 meg resistor and then soldered that to the PC board. The Tesla coil starts up now. The same thing happened to another jumper wire I had too. I have a jumper wire loosely connected to a main power junction and the other end to the input switching MosFet for on-off-on-off operation. That would be the IRF510 in the schematic. With that MosFet always on, the Tesla coil runs in continuous mode. So I decided to make a short one instead and soldered it to the power supply rail on the PC board. The Tesla coil would no longer power on with it that way. So I went back to the previous connection method. Now it works again. So it does appear that the length of the jumper wires is a contributing factor to get this thing to work. I still have the bread board setup. I'm going to pull that out and start looking at the lengths of wire I used to assemble it. Possibly there is a sequential pattern that all the components need to follow in getting power. That would be a working theory for now just to see if those kind of rules exist for this thing. [/QUOTE]
