Adafruit Powerboost 1000c (power led doesn't light up)

Post by madnerd »

Hi, I have a small issue with the powerboost 1000c (i'm making my own version of the pigrrrl zero)

Everything works fine with the battery/powerboost but I noticed the power led doesn't light up anymore when I turn on the switch.
I'm still able to use/charge the battery and it is not really a problem but I was wondering if I had done anything wrong.

I plugged my raspberry pi zero on a connector (the same connector that is used for the battery) I soldered on 5v/GND and was wondering if this could have somehow damage the led.

Try reheating the solder joints at both ends of the LED. You might have accidentally nudged something loose when you installed the JST connector next to it.
