Re: MintyPi v3 Won't Turn on Through Battery

If it's too much trouble, don't bother. It's most likely something I did due to my inexperience so it'd be my fault it broke. I'll just mark this one off as a learning experience and try some more projects to see where I get

Re: MintyPi v3 Won't Turn on Through Battery

Do you have any advice on my next steps even if you don't have a way to fix it? Should I just try to save up money over summer to try again or keep trying to fight it?

Re: MintyPi v3 Won't Turn on Through Battery

I lifted one of the speaker pads because I'm bad at soldering. Would that do anything?

Re: MintyPi v3 Won't Turn on Through Battery

I fixed the pin and made sure I have continuity between all the different pins when the cable is connected and everything works there. However, it still doesn't turn on. I assume I bent the pin when fixing it today and it was never really the problem because I don't remember the cable not fitting be...

Re: MintyPi v3 Won't Turn on Through Battery

So I resoldered everything and checked continuity between test pads and each other, and everything seems fine. However, I may have found the problem.
