Another problem post. Anyway, Im having an issue with the N+ giving off current on, what I am assuming to be, floating pins because they are not being used. All of the pins that are not used are emitting some current. While I am without a multimeter I am verifying this with an led, which is lit but dim when connected to a gnd and any port. I was just talking to a friend of mine and was told this might be a short in the board. Just curious if this is as bad as he said.

Most unused pins have an internal pull-up resistor to ensure a well-defined voltage when left unconnected. That's the way you have a weak current flowing out these pins.
No short this time!
