Until someone pointed out that I didn't have the chips' power wired in.

I remember in 2nd year computer science, I was writing a program that moved this diamond around a checkerboard type screen with the number pad as direction keys so Icould have diagonals as well. All of the sudden as I was debugging code, the diamond stopped moving. I spent 4 hours going through line after line of code.... till I noticed that numberlock was off.....
