I designed a board with a nrf51822 on it. My problem now is, that this chip needs far too much current (with no firmware on it) when I apply the 3V3 power to it. I tried to use a NRF51 DK to apply the power and program it.

The Layout seems to be ok.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I soldered the Chip with soldering fluid, which seems to seeped into the chip and caused some shorts. After heating up the whole board for several minutes at about 200°C, the problem was gone for about 10 minutes. Then it came back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#Don&amp;#39;t solder with fluid ;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
