Hello,
I made the tv b gone and it works just fine the only issue im having is randomly the battery will become super hot and i have checked and the pins don't appear to be shorting out between the battery holder and the board so im not sure where else to look.
Thanks

Re: Battery heating up
you're shorting something. post up clear photos of the top & bottom of your kit

Re: Battery heating up
I didn't see anything but maybe a fresh set of eyes can spot the difference. I just thought it was really strange because it seemed to be only 1 of the batteries and would happen randomly. Not sure if its just unlucky and i got a dud battery
that and i have to say for everyone out there circuit board pictures are quite difficult 2 cameras later i ended up using my cell phone

Re: Battery heating up
hmm it looks ok. you say its only one battery that does this? and it works otherwise? the batteries might get a little warm but they shouldnt be painfully hot!

Re: Battery heating up
looks like it may have just been a bad batch of batteries. Those were the last 2 so i bought another box and the new ones seem to not have the heating up issue.
