Dead DNA200

[SteveF]

My Realeaux died today, it was slow to fire then the battery meter dropped and the screen registered imbalanced cells.

Checked the batteries, cell 2 was dead.

Plugged into escribe with brand new VTC5s

zero charge, usb 4.2v, 0.1a

cell 1) 5.84v

cell 2) 0.01v

cell 3) 2.85v

without batteries it reads cell 1 with voltage and the menu is active

It will only flash the startup screen when the fire button is pressed,

Surprised it lasted for as long as it has but its been my coffee table vape.

Repairable or paperweight?

Broken wire at battery tray were bad for it try google you will find out the wire is to short and comes away

Check the screw under a white foam plug in the battery tray it is the board ground.

I've checked the earth wire, still tight.

how do you get the battery tray out?

If it is the same as the non-DNA original Rolos, then it is the red wire at the top of the sled you have to almost take the whole thing apart to get it though, don't lose any of the screws

[SteveF]

got it, didn't remove the earth strap screw it was caught under the sled.

And......it was the red wire on the top, and the black wire broke when I took it apart, jammed tight against the board.


hmm time to test my soldering skills
