Hmmm that's a really tiny blurry picture. It's a bit hard to tell what that part even is. Perhaps you could take a larger, less blurry picture?

pfffttt, your engrish is fine. :wink:

What battery are you using? If the fan powers on but not the cube - then the first thing that comes to my mind is there is not enough power to run the whole system.

This is how mine is wired and I can confirm it works.

Ok, so now you have a few things to check;

1. Is the battery charged? There may be enough juice to run the fan, but not the rest of the hardware.

2. Double-check your wiring.

3. Maybe you require a larger size wire to make that connection to the switch pcb? I can't really tell - but that looks ot be pretty small wire on there now.

4. Double-check your wiring.

If the battery is charged and all of your wiring is correct (let's just say the wires making the pcb connection are good for now) - then there is something else going on. Look for anything shorting out, any pcb damage on the mobo ect.

What stage are you at with this project?

Yep it's actually a 680 mAh battery. And the 9800 mAh one is actually a 1500 mAh battery.

And the seller of the second one INSISTS that they have tested it and it is a 9800 mAh battery. :roll:
