Hi -
I am new and experimenting with Arduino. I soldered the data logging shield to my Arduino board and now I can no longer seem to get power to the board. Would I have shorted the board out during soldering on accident. I went ahead and ordered a new board to test, but wanted to post the pics of the board and get some tips on anything I should try to test and see if the board is still functional. Additionally when I plug it into the USB port on my windows computer nothing happens. When I plug it into my mac I get a message stating: "Unplug the Device is using too much power". Thanks for the help.

Re: Data logging Shield causing no power to Board
You need to clean up the soldering on the pins. It looks like you have blobs in physical contact between the 5v and GND pins, which will certainly shut down a USB port.
