I take it you did try stretching the spring a bit......a lot of people had the same problem & it was down to the spring.....a hot spring solved it.

yer tried streatching it not doing anything
cheers

sorry pps but why suggest stretching the spring ?
when she inserts a bat the led flashes meaning ther is a connection between the spring tube and the screen so its probably inside the maybe a wire on the fire button not that ive ever been inside one but seems to me the power is getting up there

I didnt see the bit where it said the light flashed when I first read
this thread and along with a lot of the other suggestion a fair few
people didn't...secondly the title of the thread states the thing is
dead.

Not had time for my usual forum trawling today, catching up now

If you're getting the 3 flashes then electrically the connection from battery through to control board DOES sound to be ok, so that almost rules out spring/battery/positive pin issues.

Strange question time....

If you roll it on a flat surface does it look warped/bent ?
Have you dropped it?
I'm guessing you are 5 clicking 'fast' enough.
Does the button feel spongey ?

The firing button does take a hammering with ON/OFF clicking. How long have you had it ?

[fizzygirl]

Dont know how and nor does he but hubby has fixed it

how long for no one knows but it works again now
YAY thanks vapemonkey1980

oh well done. but try to remember what you did to it. could be really helpful

Having a bit of a prob with my vamo...............it seems to be having a slight hissy fit,I'm out an about today so cant update on the result of any suggestions, but will try anything when I get back.

Ok here goes it may be a tad confusing

It switches on ok.................take a few vapes and then the screen goes haywire.............first the battery indicator shows low and then switches off.

I switch it back on and there are a mix of functions coming up on the screen...............it appears that it is showing every function at once.

I take the vivi off and put a fresh one on...............fine for a min then the whole thing starts happening again.............take battery out look inside..................seems fine.............battery back in and then the same thing happens

I'm completely stumped

BTW the battery that the vamo says needs recharging works perfectly fine in my provari/draw tube and LT

I took the same route any man with no DIY skills take.

Beat about a bit, smacked it on a couple of things, tried my best to break it, then cast it aside.

Sounds like another case of poor connections between the body sections - just like almost every other mysterious problem
people have reported. Its not hard to fix but you do have to take all the tube sections apart and clean the joints if you want
a permanent fix.
