MintyPi v3 - not turning on over battery

Post by Blackhawk » Fri Jun 05, 2020 1:35 pm

I have checked continuity between the 5V pins and where they are supposed to go, my battery indicator will turn on when plugged into a usb-c connector. Is this just a problem of the battery not being charged enough (I think it is) or would I need to resolder the pins?

If the 5v has continuity to the proper points (assuming you know how to properly check continuity) then you should check out the voltage of the battery itself. Also look in the white connectors that the wiring harness plugs into, if you put it in upside down at anytime and forced it in then you likely bent pins and therefore the battery poweer is not passing from one board to the other.
