Should header pins be factory soldered together on BelaMini?

ErikNatanael

Hi!
Just came around to start playing with my Trill kit with which I ordered a new BelaMini. It came with the two last pins on the P2 header soldered together (as in the picture).

Is this normal? It won't boot with or without them soldered together or with or without the SD card, only the power led lights up when connecting the USB cable (no other lights and no blinking), but the board gets kind of warm.

Cheers!

Edit: Reflashing the SD-card made no difference.

no that's a manufacturing defect. Sorry about that. Please email us at orders@bela.io with your order number to arrange a replacement

actually, I just checked the pinout now: it's not expected to have those pins joined together, but also it shouldn't prevent it from booting. Whatever, we will send you a replacement.

Thanks, I've sent you an email just now. Yeah, I was surprised because when I looked at the pin diagram it didn't look like it should be a big deal.
