Ok my new Arduino arrived this morning and I have done the following tests today
Arduino stand alone power test
powered with USB OK
powered with 9v 300mA DC supply OK
powered with 12v 1000mA DC supply OK
Clock board stand alone power test
powered with 9v 300mA DC supply, All rgb Led's light up really bright almost white no led test cycle.
powered with 12v 1000mA DC supply, All rgb Led's light up really bright almost white no led test cycle.
Arduino connected to clock board power test.
powered with 9v 300mA DC supply using
clock barrel connector, No lights on either the Arduino or the clock, Arudino volt regulator gets hot.

I never tested with 12v 1000mA DC supply as I know it will burn out the Volt regulator again on the Arduino.
I think my problem must be within the first 10 or 12 parts that I fitted because when I done the first power test as in part 2 of the build videos the lights on the Arduino never came on.
I never had a multi-meter to test the voltages and thought the code had to be installed on the Arduino to get the lights to come on.
Well we should all be thankful I'm not a heart surgeon
Many thanks again TY for all your time and expertise your a top man.
