Bugger, bugger, bugger.
I lost the pad for the buffer out put when I was trying to desolder the pin ( I dont know how because i dont think it was heated excessively), but that doesnt matter.....
with the lost pad i connected my programmer up to the computer, still the LED remained lit, however much dimmer this time. with the collector of my ghetto inverter connected to the 10 K resistor that came off buffer 4 the LED was brighter again, but unresponsive to the programming softwares "commands" ( I have been using the chech feature)
what now?
