I got my powerboost 500 basic last night and I am unable to get it working. When I connect the battery (3.7 150mAh) to the board the red LED next to the battery input blinks once and then nothing. I am not measuring any voltage on the output and When I measure 2.8 ohms.
Any idea whats wrong?

Re: Powerboost 500 Basic Not Working
could you post pictures of your connections and the board? Is the battery charged or dead? If it is dead try charging it first and see if that helps.

Yeah the battery is fully charged and works fine when I plug it into another project.
Here are the pictures of the connections.

If your input is between 1.8 and 5 volts I don't see anything else that you could fix. Please email [email protected] with a link to this thread for a replacement.
