Help SVD won't turn on!

[vom]

Hi hope someone can help.

Received my SVD Friday evening, happily vaped all day Saturday. Came to turn unit on this morning and it's dead! When I install the battery the led screen lights up to tell me it is set on 10watts, then nothing after that.

i am very new to this vv vw stuff, so hope it's a rooky error and not a dead unit.

Make sure your battery is properly charged.

Hi DiscoDes
I have tried to fully charged batteries and still get the same problem

[DiscoDes]

Are you sure you're pressing the button enough times and quick enough to turn it on? Those SVD's can be a bit picky you have to do the presses quick enough.

Tried loads of different button presses and nothing.

Can't work out why it lights up when the battery is inserted and then nothing...

[Ripshod]

Could be a coil gone bad, do you have any spare heads for your atomizer?

Another less likely thing is you could have overtightened the atomizer onto the battery, try backing it up 1/2 turn see if that brings it back.

Did you leave it stood up with juice in? Maybe some has leaked through into the electronics.

When you say "nothing" vom, do you mean with an atty on it?................If so, it could be the atty, not the mod.

Hi rip shod have tried new atty, still won't turn on also unit was laid on side. Chrisjw have tried without atty on at all and still won't switch on. When I insert the battery and the led lights up momentarily if I press the pm and vom button the screen reads 16???? Then switches off

just try one more time - 3 quick press to turn it off - wait a while - then 3 quick to turn it on again - if the problem is still there contact the vendor tomorrow

Did read somewhere that protected batteries can confuse the chip, what batteries are you using..........saying that it worked yesterday.

Maybe the centre pin might need pulling up a fraction.

I bought the unit off of here with 2 batteries don't know how to check if they are protected. They are efest imr18650 and imr18350. Tried the centre pin thing, unfortunately no success ????

Those batteries should be fine.

I'm really changing my opinion of the SVD to a definite "Do Not Buy" so many people are having problems with the switch, which it could be in this case, if the switch is faulty you cannot do the button presses to get it to turn on


Have a look through the sites I have found by doing THIS search.

I love my svd - bought mine from a forum member and it works fine
