After I connected a TI railsplitter, the voltage reading on the positive side of the power supple is 2.6v while the reading on the negative is 3.5v, while the battery's total voltage is around 7.6v. Did I put the solder iron on the railsplitter too long and fried it? Would the voltage reading be off if one of the two caps were defective? Is the railsplitter sensitive to static because I was handling it a little haphazardly? What could be causing the voltages to be off (the negative side seems to be fine, but the positive side is down about a volt). I followed Tangent's schematic, connecting the COM pin to the negative and the IN pin to the POSITIVE , and then OUT to ground.
Oh yeah, the railsplitter gets kind of hot to the touch after I turn it on for a bit. And for whatever reason, the LED used to fade out longer before I did this.
