It just stopped working a few days ago, and it had been working fine for well over six months.
When I connect the minty boost board to the LiPo battery that I use as a power source, the voltage measured on the USB port steadily drops from 5 to zero in about 30 to 45 seconds. I made sure that the LiPo battery that I’m using is fully charged.
My hunch is that one of the components (perhaps a capacitor??) on the board is no longer functioning correctly, though I don’t know which one and I can’t see anything obviously wrong with any of them.
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions for how to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried a different battery yet? You might try hooking it up to two AA batteries in series to test.

Yes, I tried hooking up 2 AA batteries over the weekend, and I had the same problem... not sure what to try next.
