dull dna40 screen

[glen]

Could anybody shed any light as to why one of my large screen dna40 mods has a duller screen than the others, it illuminates more when you are pressing the fire button, but goes dimmer as soon as you stop, all functions are working as they should, so it doesn't affect the performance or quality of the vape, any help greatly appreciated
Many thanks

Maybe the connections have got dirty or loose over time, if you can get to it maybe give it a clean (StealtVape's DNA 200 page has a pic of how the socket works, you have to be gentle with them).

I would think that its a display driver...weakness. That'll be the chip that controls the display itself. I have 2 Heatvape Invaders (cheapo from efun.top recently). One of them when the Batt volts get down a bit breaks up into a dotty mess...some may say its pretty looking. I think its crap driver chips here and there? No way to fix..defo!

edit: Likely the driver and display are the same chip

The Heatvape I'm using now brights up a lot when I hit the fire button glen and then dims down a lot on button release. After some minutes it blanks out which is Batt saving. I'll run my older HCig DNA40 up tomorrow to see if its the same?

Been told by a modder on safer vapers that it's probably a weak solder as he's seen it beforehand, but won't harm the board
Yours sounds almost exactly the same

Plug it into eScribe and adjust screen brightness? I changed my DNA to dim shortly after firing glen . You can play about with it.

DNA40 does use eScribe?????
