eetech00, I have tried the capacitor on Q2 collector, Q1 base, Q2 base on ground and positive but gives no result. The only thing that will latch the circuit is the R7 from collector of Q1 to the base of Q2 after the first half cycle of the signal. It flash for the first time and the second time it became steady lit without pressing the acknowledge button.Hi Alex_t
I think the latch circuit in post #44 is missing a (1uf) cap from the collector of Q2 to +V.
