V2.0 motor shield not working at all!
I am new to the Adafruit motor shield and fairly new to the Arduino in general. I am having quite a serious problem in that when the motor shield is connected I cannot connect to the computer via the USB on the uno. I don't know if the power is working as I can't get anything to run. It is impossible to upload or run any sketches with the shield connected, I am getting a 'serial port not found' error which disappears as soon as the motor shield is removed.

Please post photos showing the front and back of the shield.

Sorry, I had a more in depth look myself and noticed a bit of dodgy soldering on the Vout pin and have fixed it myself.

Great! That's what most shield problems turn out to be.
