My MVP2 has recently become troublesome.
I noticed it flashing green the other day so put it on charge for the whole day.
It would not power on at all. However when I switch it to external USB, it wil charge my phone.
Then I noticed it on solid green for 10 seconds followed by flashing green (I guess this is what happened when I first saw it fashing too).
A quick Google tells me that this is the 10 second cut off after it being in use for 10 seconds.
So it seems something has gone inside.
I gave it a bash on the floor (not recommended) and it started to work again properly for a while, but now it keeps doing the long green light for 10 seconds then flashing green.
Any ideas what I should look for if I dismantle it ?

Hi Piper,
It does it with or without an atty on top
I'm guessing a loose connectiontion making it think the button is pressed constantly.
Although, I have had it apart as much as being able to remove the button and press the small inner button that the actual outer button presses on to.
Didn't feel confident enough to pull the entire innards out as it looks complex with the oem battery et al.
Shame really as I just bought a wrap for it lol.
May have a bash now I have seen your instructions and I'm sure it is very similar to the V1.
Just not sure what I'm looking for.

If you get stuck send it up to me and I will have a look at it for you, but I can't promise I will be able to fix.

Just found a almost disconnected wire :-)
Will solder tomorrow.
Fingers crossed that's the reason.
