I received my BASYS3 board a few months back and recently found out that the seven segment display is not working right. I'm doing a class project where we have to increment the seven segment after every series of tests, and everything works as intended except for the first digit of the SSEG. The LEDs light up correctly, and the second SSEG digit increments as it should. However, when the first digit should show 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc, all it shows is 8. No cathodes turn off. When I run the Vivado bitstream on another basys3 board it works perfectly, so it must be the hardware on mine. In the default state, the buttons turn off all of the SSEG digits except the first, so it seems like the anode on the first one is faulty. Is this fixable?
