Hmmmmmmmmmm Just sitting here wondering what to take to the beer garden in a few hours and noticed my Vamo LCD has died! The odd wee flicker of life upon studying it a moment and now nothing. Still fires and can change v / w ? Not sure what it is on. Prob volts as I removed the battery and replaced. No nothing on screen at all. Weird to just go out like that, it hasn't ever twitched before. Oh will, who woulda thunk the svd button would outlive the Vamo backup lol.
I guess it is now a rather large vv no screen mod. Not sure how safe I feel now if it decides to fire by itself or something.
Suppose I better request another second hander? Thinking sigelei now as I never hear any probs from them, although I fancy a little box type thing.
Anyone else had a screen bust on their Vamo?
Ruffie :-(

Mine went 2 days ago. All I am getting is 2 little dots bottom middle of the screen, when I change watts/volts I can see numbers/letters, but like they are in the background and unlit. Still fires fine.

Still fires fine. Strange isn't it. I did get a few dots for 5 min whilst I played with it and now bugger all, canny even tell if it is on or off unless it fires. I have looked at it sternly and given it a slap but alas it dead!

Not sure what happened there, oh well. I have just taken the top cap off as the battery started to get a bit hotter than usual and looked at the circuit board, there apears to be a bit of black at the com1 port so was shorting out. I have salvaged the board for the switches to use in any other electronic project (arduino stuff no doubt) and the the rest is in the bin. Don't think it'd have been too safe using it as was.
Right, Second hand mod hunt begins again. Ruffie.
