Ahh well the screen is connected to the power strip, and nothing like that stuff is connected. I can try testing it with hdmi connected and see what happens i guess.

@Ganreizu It was just to see if the problem was present with just the Pi connected. @jonweb received a replacement from me and still has the same problem. I'm going to test his old board now.

Tested with battery only, USB cable only, and both. It works as intended. It was a little flaky at first when I first plugged the cable in, but there's some damage to some traces which I attempted a repair on.

Does @johweb have a 640x480 screen like I do? Would that have anything to do with it?

@Ganreizu Hmm I'm not too sure. I don't see how though. It's an electronic switch managing the PowerBoost's state. It shouldn't matter how much current you're drawing from the PowerBoost.

I do have the same screen. Did you try with another ? (I don't have another one)

Nah I don't have a different one either.

Hi couple of questions if you don't mind answering....

When will you be selling these again?

How does it notify you that the battery is low, is it on screen?

Thank you in advance

You need a separate component for that.

So is the low battery indicator on this board for the Pi to shutdown safely before the batterey dies?
