Won't this be backfeeding? Or is the 5V line directly connected to the 5V pad?

I paid for 2 batteries! Thanks so much! One question - so there will be no refunds if any issues? And shipping wise - you saying it would be better to get priority for $3 more?

Any help?

Looks like I broke my Pi 3 by desoldering the ports using a professional Hakko solder sucker... It was working for a while and then I think the LAN IC chip which provides data to the USB and Network ports died due to shorting. Even though I checked it and gave it a wipe with alcohol. It goes to show...

################### UPDATE 2 ################### Hey guys, It has been a busy year. So far I have done the following to my GBZ. I am showing what it would look like if a novice wanted to put a Pi 3 into a case and run it off a portable power bank! I am still thinking of fitting a battery but there i...

Since you are a nooby do not spend to much on a multimeter. When you learn a bit more about electronics then do what you want. Here is one I recommend for you: UNI-T UT19C https://www.aliexpress.com/item/UNI-T-UT139C-True-RMS-2-6-LCD-Digital-Multimeter-Electrical-Handheld-Tester-Multimetro-LCR-Meter...

Looks like a custom board. I'm more interested in the screen he's used - looks like it was this: https://world.taobao.com/item/541924387563.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.BhLrf7#detail - turns out ordering one cost less than £15 so I've placed an order, will see if its any good. I have that kedei screen...
