I'm not an expert, but, sounds like you fried the board in one way or another. I'd suggest opening a ticket and installing a plug on the battery connections. AN XT30 is a little smallish, but will work fine.

Second problem solved as well. So much for "known good" wall warts.

Thanks, VapingBad! That cured the screen problem, but I still wonder about the wall wart problem.

I just got a DNA200 up and running and am very satisfied with it. I do have a couple of questions about charging, however. I'm using a 3S LiPO pack and can watch it charge on the device monitor while plugged into the PC. I configured the charge screens to display the information I want to see, but it doesn't appear on the DNA200 screen. I assumed, and we all know what that can do, that the screen would switch to show the values I'd like to see when charging. Is it supposed to? I have also tried charging from a wall wart and have had zero results. The screen lights up when I plug into the wall wart, but apparently it is not charging. I've tried multiple wall warts and multiple cables with the same result. So, is it possible to charge from a wall wart rather than a PC?

Here's my 1590G/DNA200/1000mah mod. It took a lot longer to build than I anticipated, nothing unusual about that. The basics were no screws through the case while still retaining the battery securely for safety and being able to easily dis-assemble in case of problems or failure. That lead to a lot of JB weld and time waiting for that to harden, a day at a time, for all the brackets needed to accomplish that. Then I got distracted when making the template for the face and offset the display window 2mm closer to the fire button rather than further from the fire button to simplify cable management for the display. That lead to cutting out the display window in the box to accept the complete display module and making a trim piece for the face with the display window in the right location. That, of course, added more "machining" time and another day of JB weld curing for that trim piece. It's not "perfect" but it's close enough and I'm satisfied. It is heavier than I expected but that is no deal breaker. If I ever get ambitious I may replace the aluminum buttons with brass buttons, but the aluminum works fine for me. Keep in mind, I'm not a machinist and only have a drill press, Dremel, hacksaw and files to work with for machining. The internals -
