DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Its a missing pull up resistor on BR & BGACK.
Yes. But both the pullup fixes are connected to BR, none of them to BGACK :)

Photo of using an extra SIL to provide the 5 extra pull-ups and using the SIL to also provide the BGACK PULL UP FIX

The other wire is the BR PULL UP FIX

White insulating tape to stop any shorts whilst the board is laid flat
