Mini Lab Problems

I’ve been unable to wire up anything on the breadboards provided with the mini lab.

I thought it was just because I am a beginner but when I redid the wiring on an external board (still using the connections from the mini lab) it all worked.

They look like they are mounted correctly (i.e. I the numbers are the right way up). Is there something else I have missed. Or should I buy new breadboards from someone else? (If so, any recommendations?)

Thanks

These are breadboard connections used in MiniLab.
You mean red lines aren’t connecting well?

Yes I think so. I am a beginner so its possibly my fault.

I was following the schematic at the beginning of the manual (just wiring up an led, no programming)

I could not get it to work on either breadboard. But when I used an external board connected to the mini lab it worked fine.

Also several of the metal bits off the back off the built in board fell off but I put them back in. (after pics were taken)

You have connected everything right. We can ship you replacement breadboards (we have new ones).
