Yep the phone jack thing don't work.... As the tip of the pin which we think is the power outlet is actually the signal outlet.. and therefore there is no power to power the 3v board..

After i tried many different things... wore out my multi meter... I went back and looked at the first photo's in this thread. If you look at where the wires are soldered to the board, The signal actullay is taken form the top of the pin in the mini jack port..
