Check, that you did not swap + and - of the power cable! Unfortunately
this happened once to me and this way I "desoldered" D11 and almost
desoldered D12 off of the KPA3 (luckily both diodes survived this
treatment and the K3 worked after putting them back in place again)
What happens if you remove the KPA3, does the K3 power on then?
