That's fine, you may already know this but the paste used for soldering copper pipes will work fine for a while but can ruin electronics over time, it's corrosive. Don't ask me how I know....... 

I did not know that, thanks for the tip.

I used electrical solder with a flux core that I got from hobby lobby

Could you post a picture of the board where we can look at the components, connections, solder points, and etc?  

Sorry I took so long to respond

I would try disconnecting the external button completely. Problem persists,  then a possible board problem...if not, either your wiring or a bad button...

I pulled everything apart and made sure to unwire the button completely and it still persisted

Ah...I did not know you were using an external button.  That adds a few more layers of things that could go wrong.  In addition to the above possibilities, your external button could be hard shorted for "on" or you could have build a solder bridge on the DNA chip when installing the button.  So bad built in button, bad external button or solder bridge.  All of which should be able to be tested with an meter.   Yes, if it is the built in button, then it goes back, but my money is on a fat solder job or a bad external button.  Test with a meter for an open short when the button is not pressed.  If you get something other than infinite resistance, then you have a short...bad button or fat solder joint.

Thanks for your help on this. I will go back and check all my work again.

I have had this issue with a fire button that was depressed due to build issues (button was too thick).  Other than that, you could have a defective fire button.  If you have a multimeter you can check the button.

You mean the fire button on the board is bad? I am running an external button and have triple checked my wire configuration and it's still doing the same thing. It is frustrating to say the least. If the fire button on the board is bad will I have to send it to evolv to get fixed?

Ok so I am having an issue with a build I am doing. The device keeps auto firing whenever I plug in the battery until it times out. The up/down buttons stop it from firing until I release them. I have disconnected, cleaned, and resoldered the out and ground wires three times and I keep getting the same issue. Did I fry the board or is there something I am missing.
