How ironic that the mistake in the schematic should lead me to the actual fault. The incorrect connection to +5V got me thinking, what if Vout was grounded?? No it couldn't be .... right??........ Wrong!!!! (in fairness I wish my eyes were as good as my macro lens, I would have spotted it a lot sooner!!!)
Got rid of that little lump circled in red and it works like a charm - I didn't really doubt microchip parts for a minute!!
Thanks for the help guys and my sincere apologies for any time wasted.
I just hope the information contained in this thread may help someone somehow in the future....even if just reminder to check the basics and your soldering!!
