Dead DNA

[dalealan]

So went to pick up my C2D1 and didn't realise that it was plugged into the USB at the time so it yanked the cable out. Now it won't turn on. Quick flash of the welcome screen then nothing. If I keep the power button pressed its showing the batteries as nearly empty even though I've swapped them for a new set of charged ones. Any ideas VapingBad or any of the other DNA guru's? I might have knackered the daughter board. Could be the fuse I spose as after a quick google it's white not green. Fk it's my only frickin mod. Aaargggghhhh 





Looks like it it may be the charge board as if it's connected to the charger it will switch on but it's showing nothing going into the battery. Could be the onboard fuse too according to t'internet but I've tried bridging it and still no joy. Time to boot the laptop up and see what escribe says coz it may be possessed  escribe is showing one cell on 0volts and the other normal. Set as two battery etc so I'm hoping it is just the fuse. Now to find someone who can bloody solder and I might as well order a pack of 10.

Nope fuse continuity is fine. Fricksake looks like I'm buying a new mod

Sorry been out after work for the last few nights. Is it still showing one battery at 0 V, actually what are both cell voltages in Escribe? Get a magnifying glass and a good light and look for damaged or missing component near the USB socket and damage to solder points between the boards and the wiring points especially at the bottom of the DNA board. If it is less than a year old Evolv will probably fix it under warrenty.

Yeah been having a good look over it VapingBad but can't see any damage. Escribe was showing one battery at 4.9 and the other cell as 0.1 so not sure what's going on. Checked voltages of batteries and tried other matched pairs in but nothing. still read 4.2 when taken out so not too worried but it's kerknackered on the sister board side I think. Exact same as these on the evolvforum forum.evolvapor.com/topic/65612-therion-dna-250-166w-check-battery/ I've emailed evolv so I'll see what they reply but it's a sad day

Yeah when one cell higher it normally means the charger chip is faulty, yon need to open a support ticket rather than emailing them helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add&category=1

Yip that's exactly what I've done. Got an email back with the ticket number just waiting for their reply vb. if the worst comes to the worst I'll just have to buy a new mod. It's my own daft fault for giving everything else away until I buy something I'm stuck. Thank the Lord I was down to 3 mg juice or I'd be climbing the walls wanting a fag hah

Evolv has replied and they've kindly issued me with an RMA VapingBad I've got nothing but admiration for their customer service. I suppose this is the difference between cheaper stuff and somewhere who stands by their boards. It'll be posted to the U.S of A tomorrow then the wait begins. I've missed the ickle fella

They turn them round fast in my experience, 0-2 days.

Woohooo all returned and new board fitted from the wonderful peeps at Evolv. Chuffed to bits just need to reupload my saved file when I get back home. Happy days even if it’s looking a bit rough I’ve missed this ickle sod

[keepitgoin]

great to hear you got your Mod back!

[buggritt]

Now go buy something else - cheap.

Wish I'd bought another one when they were really cheap on Fasttech as there's nothing that comes close for the price, think they were around about the 36 quid mark in the sale but I'm going to grab a Tesla Wye 85w for work as they look like a light pocketable mod. Can't thank the gents at Evolv enough. Didn't ask for proof of purchase and fixed it for free (which was lucky as I bought it off here )

aspire speeder is a good work horse but its a 2x 18650 mod

[dalealan]

And it's dead again exactly the same problem so I'm giving up on it. Shame as it was working lovely then kaput. Oh well time for a visit to Fastech for something cheap n cheerful methinks

Cheers
