You appear to have the positive wire from the lipo, going to the switch, then to the ground pad on the board. You'll be lucky if you haven't fried it. :-(
If I have what could be salvaged cuz I don't wanna buy this stuff again :oops:
i wouldnt worry about that right now.....

first get the wiring right....
then you can see if it works....

and if unfortunately anything has blown, you'll be able to work out what....

'the most obvious issue i see is that you have a ground going to your switch.... might wanna swap that with a 5v


also have you looked at this for reference....

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=3297


it might help to trouble shoot....'

Thanks dude I'll do this as soon as I can but if it still don't work what is the best thing to do/replace
hopefully you havent done any damage....

but i cant see anything other than the power boost going.... but cross that bridge if you have to


your wiring is the issue, and hopefully thats it.....

I tried it and it still didn't work... It's clear now that something is broken or shortened , if the whole thing is shortened out is everything gonna be broken? Like could I still keep the pi and button board and just replace the micro lipo and battery cuz I seriously don't don't wanna buy the button board again
