I just etched my first PCB, and the (working) circuitry I took from my
solderless breadboard and soldered to this new PCB doesn't work.  And right
now the only thing I can tell about it is that the batteries immediately
begin to heat up.  This typically means there is a power-ground short
correct?  But I've been over every trace and solder point with a magnifine
glass around 50 times and still can't find any problems.

I'm pretty new at this so I thought I'd throw this question out there...
What else should I be suspicious of?  Or am I just blind and I definately
have touching traces?

All I have on the board are:
1 pic16f628
1 4 bit LCD module
1 Laipac 433khz receiver
2 resistors

Any ideas?

Thanks.
