Hello I am using the Lipoly Solar Charger with a Minty Boost.
I assembled everything and connected it.
Now I dont get any voltage readings on the USB Port.
I got 3.96 V at the Input of the Minty Boost but nothing on the USB output.
Please see the attached Photos.
I hope you can help me.
Thank you in advance

Re: Minty Boost is not working
The solder on the black and red wires don't look very good. Re-flow them.
Some other solders look kind of blobby - they may be "cold joints", where the solder hasn't really made contact with the pad. Solders should flow completely over the pad and up the pin, like this:
To get this, you have to touch both the pad and the pin with the iron. Retouch all of your solders to get good flow.
