<p>Was this a bought new item?<br>
Seems pretty strange to be diving straight in to hacking it
apart.. even if we're on the SDIY list.<br>
Where's the support from the shop & manufacturer?<br>

I have a very cheap multimeter that I got at a convenience
store, so testing continuity is a bit confusing. I am thinking
the problem might lie with that RECOM 5v regulator. <br>
Testing resistance between any two pins gives a reading of
somewhere around 1 to 2 ohms!<br>
<br>
Seeing as none of my modules use the 5v rail anyway, it won’t
hurt to just remove it for now. I just need to get my hands on
a soldering iron.<br>
