MintyPi won't turn on

Post by Gandagorn » Mon Nov 25, 2019 2:19 pm

Hello,
I had a problem. I was fixing reflowing the pins on my MintyPi to fix it and it did turn on again but now it won't turn on unless it is plugged in, and when it is on, it won't turn off. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks.

Yes you're 5v pins likely have bad connection, when you were reflowing things the weak connection likely broke. Go redo your 5v points and check continuity on it to be sure it's good.
