Using the AA batteries: What is the output voltage on the Mintyboost with no device connected? With an iPod or iPhone attached? (you will not be able to charge an iPad or a Nook with a Minty)
If you post photos of the front & back of the board we can check for any assembly problems.

I'm at a loss, and unfortunately too busy at work to troubleshoot the Minty at this time. That combined with my still-budding knowledge of electronics (and the gremlin that I think is living in this particular unit) means that I'm going to scrap this guy and purchase a new one.

Thanks again for all of the time, help and tips. If you'd like me to return this particular unit for testing or similar I can put it in the mail ASAP.


Thank you again!
Yes, I'm a real person.
