Hey everyone,
             I recently got a second revision of our PCB back from our
PCB house.  I through everything on the board and tried to fire it up
and as Murphy's law would have it did nothing.  :P

I traced it quickly to the power supply part of the circuit, which was
outputting .9V when it should have been 3.6V.

I took another PCB and soldered on only the power supply components.
 No luck, although sometimes it gets really hot and outputs 6.6V??  :P

I thought ok an obvious blunder in making up the PCB, rechecked the
board many times looks ok and DRC checks out....

Took the meter to it all connections seem to go where they are suppose
to....

The only thing that has changed from this revision to the last are
widening the VCC and gnd, Using Tantalum instead of electrolytic and
using PCB mount battery clips instead of a separate battery holder.

I'm using Linear's LTC3400 and their standard standard circuit for the
power supply, it's worked in many projects before, but I'm at a total
loss on this one.  Anyone have any ideas I realize it's vague, but I
don't think it's just being temperamental, boost converters don't seem
to be that picky about layout.

Anyways, if anyone could offer a hand it would be more then GREATLY
appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Aaron
