Ever since first doing this hack I've had a real problem with keeping the thing powered. USB power seems to die if you look at the thing wrong.
At first I thought I was browning-out the incoming power but adding a capacitor didn't fix it. I resoldered the power connections, and even clipped off the pin connectors to make direct solder joints. No dice. If you shake it around the power blinks on and off.
