Do not solder to the "holes" solder to the outer pins and make sure you're making solid joints.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

What I was trying to say is, solder to the outer holes but stick the wires through them, not just loosely attached on top.

I solder directly to the top of the holes. Works fine for me. Also makes the whole board slimmer if size is what you're going for.

I don't think its that it was sloppy (although it probably was). The LED wouldn't turn on either, and I did put it on the outer holes.

If the LED doesn't turn on, the board should be fine. It's either not getting enough power on the 3.3v line or there's a short somewhere.

Ok, so it's still not fried, but I couldn't get it to work. I plugged it into the TV, and it turned a faint greenish color so either the wires are too long (I'm not sure what the max length is), I just need to clean up my solder joints, or something I don't foresee... XD
