Will take a look!!!
Btw, that was not my pic. Just attached a real one now!

Probably, I haven't removed the resistor..

The resistor connect VCC directly to the ESP8266 3.3V input if I remember right (skipping your voltage converter), you might have fried your ESP if you applied higher voltage (or not if you're lucky )

Also check that you don't have any unwanted connection to GND, I've used such adapter board, and one of them must have melted under the ESP module or something else went wrong. Point is, I had some unwanted short-cut (or simply some short-cut!)

Removed the resistor... BTW, it was not a 0ohms...

Couldn't get it to work!

Will desolder it tonight and check!

oO got the same faulty board as you on which the 3 resistor were the same. Seems I'm not the only one which receive some board were they didn't bother with the 0ohm resistor...
