Teensy not functioning in Electronic Animated Eyes project

Post by mrhume »

Hi Adafruit support,
I am trying to make the project "Electronic Animated Eyes for ARM Microcontrollers - https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-electronic-eyes" and have hit a snag.

I connected everything as described in the guide (I think), but when I plug the Teensy into my computer it doesn't connect to it, nor does the little LED on the board come on.
When I plug a different Teensy I happen to have on hand into the same usb cable and port, it works perfectly, and the little LED comes on. So I don't believe it's my computer or the cable that is causing the issue.

When I activate the switch I've installed, the TFT screens come on, so long as the battery is plugged in, which is what the guide says should happen.

Can anyone help? I assume either I did something wrong - most likely - or the board is not functioning properly, in which case I may have killed it somehow. Here are a few pictures.
