Yeah, I figure the placement&soldering will have improved and continue to improve over time

I'll try poking at the components here and there when I get around to it to see if I can get the LED blinking away.
Review by 'Ken' at one of the reseller shops:
I bought two of these and just ordered another one. They work very well with most pools and can usually switch from pool to pool without having to unplug them. Gives me the ability to play around with various alt coins without a big investment. The LEDs are cool too.
