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. One of the pins for the power cable on the PCB is bent. It's squished against the wall of the port and I can t seem to get it to straighten by using t...

MintyPi v3 Won't Turn on Through Battery
First thing I'd like to say, yes I have continuity. It's been a journey to say the least with this, but I'll skip over most of it. I'm having trouble powering my pi through the battery. It's been working fine these past few days, but I had a problem where the system would constantly restart. I resol...
