Thank you Cris72,

No, I checked, I didn't load any file that created a square wave signal. It was working fine till I unscrewed the plastic cover to remove the dust on the board. I'm wondering if there has been a static discharge while removing the board. The fact that I can't control anymore the board from the Altera Control Panel is worrying me.

Before I do that, does testing the board from the Control Test Panel requires that the pins assignment file installed prior to the testing procedure? If you say what the problem is, then the board is acting like as if it's lacking the intelligence that will tells it where the leds and 7-segments are so I can turn them on and off manually from the Test Panel Board., not from the Quartus Programmer.

I'm gonna check again today and share my fix if I'm able to.

Thanks for your quick answer.
