They're physically broken :) Perils of parcelling up an open board without
covering it sufficiently......

Yup; certainly all of the broken ones were between +5V and GND and I got
them swapped over last night - 104Z 50V ones 'cos I found a parking space
just round the corner from the shop on my way home, and I got 12 english
pence back too :)

This brings to mind a separate question that I'll post in a bit.

cheers!
