mintyPi wont boot
Okay, so I soldered the pi to to button PBC and checked continuity and everything was fine. I then proceded to finish everything else and finished soldering everything. When I turned it on to test everything, the green LED wouldn't turn on and the pi wouldn't boot. I switched sd cards and still nothing. Any advice?

Check if VCC is shorted to GND, basically a continuity test between VCC and GND. Also check the voltage at VCC and GND and the 5v GPIO and GND GPIO to be sure power is reaching the pi.

Re: mintyPi wont boot
get some solder wick and wick as much solder as you can from the holes. Hopefully this will wick enough and break the short. You did clamp the Pi down to the button pcb, right?
