Help please, Evic trouble

[stokiesam]

Hi guys. Haven't been on here in a while but I'm wanting to kick the ciggies altogether. Anyway could some kind hearted soul please give me any advice on my Evic.
I Haven't used it in awhile but I've gone to charge it and I'm getting absolutely nothing out of it. It's been on charge via laptop and plug. Charger cable checked and working fine. The screen is staying blank I've tried the hold button plug in charger trick and I've got nothing. Please could someone help me as it's the only decent device I've got and it looks like going in the bin.

Have you got it in sleep mode?

Have you downloaded this software and made any adjustments? : www.joyetech.com/support/down_nr.php?id=48&k=1

IIRC the screen should light up when plugging in to charge. Hopefully just a poor connection, check the cable charges your phone plugged into the same USB port, if you have some Isopropyl alcohol or meths clean the connections with that and if not plug and unplug them a few times to try and clean then.

Good luck.

Some laptop usb sockets don't put out enough power to charge another device, especially if the laptop isn't plugged in.

Do you not have a separate battery charger?

Do you have any other suitable cables (phone, kindle, whatever?)
I had to try a couple of different cable with my evic before I found one that worked

MY eVic charged from the Laptop USB fine, it looks like there is a problem with the USB socket, it's wiring or the charging circuit on the eVic. I assume that you have a battery in it that has not been over discharged as mods would not be able to recover these you would need a good charger to do this. Can you try another battery, long shot but you never know.

I havent got another battery mate that would fit at all. Not really sure what to do with it as new control head is ridiculous money.

If you have any vaping friends locally that can lend you a battery for 5 mins to make sure the eVic works and it does then get a charger Nitecore i2 & i4 are very good value.

Thats another problem theres only my dad that i know who vapes and hes got a riva kit and thinks thats technical . ill try and get a battery tonight. If it doesnt turn out to be the battery/charger are the control heads repairable or is it not the worth the money?

If you left it with the battery installed, then you have killed the battery.
Any mods with electronics will still drain a battery even when switched off.

Especially the Evic, which has a clock & calendar running
