Mintypi Boots then dies

Post by Joeblowv1 » Fri May 03, 2019 5:53 pm

Hi All,

Just wanted to quickly see if anyone has any assistance on this one? Had my minty working this morning except for the select button, tore her back apart to resolder the select button. Now I can get everything working off USB, and it would appear that when I use the battery, I get a quick flash of white screen (10 seconds or so) and then nothing....endlessly. Any help on this?

I know this sounds dumb but I can't assume everyone knows everything...

Have you tried charging the battery?

Well, I'll feel sorta stupid if thats it. But it was booting fine this morning? Do these batteries naturally drain quickly?

Update - battery is charged and nothing new fwiw its a new power board

Let's keep the same questions in one thread instead of multiple.
Chat with me and other members On Discord

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.
