Vamo stopped working

[matty198111]

Had my vamo for a month I guess

The screen stopped working right, it would light up but it all lit up so you could not read the display
Now the whole thing has stopped working , wont fire up any atty and the screen won't light up
Even when a new battery is put in it doesn't flash ???

Mine came with a 3 month warranty against manufacturer defects, so maybe worth getting in touch with vendor to see about a replacement?

not good news for you or any of us Vamo owners

Mine sometimes doesn't seem to recognise when I put in a new battery, I have to take it out and put it back in ......... Hope it's not a sign of what may happen

Hope you can get it replaced OK matty, its allways a worry for me when buying Chinese elec stuff, said he glancing at his 2 month old L-rider and considdering the Zmax group buy!

i had a vamo and it lasted around a month . it had a constant "Lo" message on the screen(without the v or ohm symbol)

i stripped it down to its components and could not find any thing wrong with it

i then separated the 2 circuit boards cleaned a few solder points up put the board back together rigged it to a battery and it was working again

i put it back together and it still worked

i never found the problem!!

i have now got rid of it !! gave it away actually as i cant be doin with unreliable stuff

I had a few problems with mine. I found it was the spring as its pathetic. I done a thread on it. Can't find it as on my phone.

Hmmm maybe the vamo is not all it's cracked up to be lol.

Started working now

I think it may have been condensation

I would put some 99 % IPA in it and swish it around and it should be fine..
