PowerBost sudenly stop working?

Post by trenanc »

Hi

my Power Boost 500 Charger suddenly stop output power, it was connected to the pc with micro usb, look like it was charging the battery but when i looked to it again the blue light was off, and when I tried to connect the iphone, did not output any power at all.
Somebody?
Even the lipo battery doesn't work through it.

Could you post clear pictures of your board and the connections to it?

Have you tried with a different battery.

I just got one too, and am learning. Mine seems to charge the battery fine, and drive my Pi off the battery fine. But it starts thrashing when charging under load. I suspect my wall power adapter. But, the same adapter drives my Pi fine when the Power Boost is not in-line. Any trouble-shooting hints appreciated.

Perhaps I have a more general question and will start a new post, but does anyone know a good resource to get started with mobile projects?
