I just finished soldering most of my mintyboost early this morning and began testing in the afternoon. On the first test I am getting roughly 2V from the extreme pins and about .5V from the second test. When I put the batteries in the chip begins to heat up rapidly. I performed the finger test, there was no sizzling but it was extremely hot. Furthermore, I've tested the voltage of the wires extending from the battery pack and Im only getting about 2V where it mets the board.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Problems with voltage and chip getting too hot
The photo of the top of you board is corrupted somehow. Can you post one that shows the whole top of the board?
