Yep ...

Pull the pill out ... Check to see if it runs correctly outside the body .

If not , check very carefully for a short ..

Its a process of elimination ..

Do you have a Multimeter ? Check current draw @ the tail
If its a Q5 it should draw around 700Ma to just over 1A measured at the tail .
Anymore [ 1.5A + ] and you need to check for that short .

I tried to measure the current and the multimeter said about 300mA :duh2:
Edit: I tried does it work, and it worked when the poles was connected directly to the battery. Sorry about my bad english.

look for excess solder which might be connecting the leads to the wrong parts of the body.

if you're anything like me when you're in a hurry to finish, you leave extra solder everywhere....:ohgeez:
