  1. Either the insulator on my Opus' 510 wasn't screwed in all the way or I forced it down with my Infinite Magma clone with it's extra long 510. I was having problems with changing resistance till I correcting it. Here's a picture of it prior to screwing it all the way back in.

    I then added a dab of Super Glue gel to keep it there. It didn't appear stripped so I'm not sure how it got that way.
    BTW, that glob of sealant you see here appears to be silicone that "they" used.

    Hi,

    I have the same box and when it came the batteries showed 3.8v each.  I did notice the manual says to not allow them to go below 3.6v which contradicts the 3.09v soft cut off that John states in another thread.

    For now I have set mine to 3.6v cut off.

    Did you get any use out of the unit when you got it? I ask as I wonder if it has depleted the cells beyond what it should as it's set to 3.09v when you get it.

    Hope you get it sorted.  Do you have a lipo charger as some of these can bring them back in to operating voltage range.

    I'm really hoping someone "in the know" addresses the 3.6 volt cut off stated here.
  3. I'd kind of like Opus to get involved with this forum but that just well might not be the right way to go, just a thought though.
    Unless Opus received all the first run boards and unless they were faulty then there should be the same failure rate seen with all of the boards. I can only guess at how many Opus' have been sold so far but it should be near at least 500. I think there's 10 or 11 have been reported here, that might leave another couple or so unknown. So we're looking at maybe 4% failure rate here which really isn't too bad but it still should fall in line with the rest of the board failures excluding user error.
    Here's what I was looking at as the cause of the fuse blowing, note just how close the contacts of the switch are to the ground pad on either side of it.

    And then note the stand offs of the case:

    Looks like a pretty tight clearance to me but I didn't actually measure it as I would have to disassemble  it to do so.

  4. I'm not sure just what the mortality rate is on the Opus 200 but I have this idea that maybe I should be trying to send mine back to Opus before it happens to fix the clearance problem as it should be an easier job not having to put in a fuse as well. Your thoughts on this please.
