Hi folks, wonder if anyone can help me fix my 2 Egos, YES BOTH BROKEN this week, am devastated as one is quite new! The new one had a knock (my little jumped on me and it came appart at the top between the silver tip where you attach the cartomiser and the black case, if you know where I mean!(where the wiring is) I think it was either soldered or glued together, although I can just "shove" it together and it DID WORK FIRST TIME I DID THIS but doesn't now, as I knocked it again today!! There's red black white and green wires inside that connect to the circuit in the top, but today it came apart again and although I can't see any breaks or disconnected parts - it's not firing up at all now, so something, somewhere near the top (wiring to circuit board) must not be connecting properly! Maybe I'm being a brave woman thinking little old me can fix it, but if I knew where to; I'd have a go at soldering it, as it doesn't even look like anything is broken! Any of you modder boffs got any advice for me, besides sling it Any help appresiated or a pic of how it should look inside? I don't really want to take it all totally to pieces, the You tube stuff looks very complicated! Thanks in advance to any "experts" out there who can help me! Jules

Can't help you repair it I'm afraid I'm not much good at things like that, it must have had a fair whack for it to break I have just tried to move it with my pliers but it won't budge!

Jules there are a couple of guys on the forum who love this stuff, although I believe one is on holiday right now. Don't bin the battery, give this thread a bump every so often, and someone will be along who can help

Cheers guys! I think it wasn't a genuine Joye batt because my other one is as solid as a rock! Jules

Jules The atty connector/ button part is a press fit. It also is the negavite part of the circuit, so it won't fire if the two parts are separate. Did you try firing it if they are hand push fitted together. If that works, a few gentle taps with a hammer on a hard surface should press it back home squarely. If not it could be a broken wire, or shorted out circuitry (fairly fatal).

Yes when I first pushed it back in it still worked, but the second time I feared a wire had come out somewhere (although can't see anything at the top) but think I may have smelt (or imagined) a burning smell, not sure, but if I did then I'd say you're right it's probably shorted out! I bought it quite recently, it had an LED display, showing battery power left in red bars - anyone else had one of these?
Cheers anyway Jules
ps the other one flippin works but have lost the top centre pin disk thing! maybe I should get the disk off this one and try to attach to my old ego, at least I know that was a genuine Joytech model, as this one falling apart at the seams after a couple of months indicates a cheap copy!

If it smells of burnt Bakelite it's a goner. You can easily rescue the centre pin and put it in the other one if you're feeling brave. It's easy enough to do, just very fiddly.

Can I do it without opening it up? and I take it I'll need a touch of solder??? Thanks Jules
