Anyone have any idea why this DNA 250 Color has this error message about the clock and date ?
Can't set time and date in settings.Can't connect it to escribe due to version for 250 Color not available yet.

Pretty sure it's the same screen that 75C uses. As for specs that's on lock down for now.

Brown.....
Your computer has corrupted drivers.
First try installing escribe on a fresh computer that has never had it installed.
Works every time. -
Yup Just One Thought.
RMA -
Oh I totally agree lewis Brandon and john and the whole crew at Evolv have been the greatest.
Brandon has helped me out immensely.
So I mean no insult just kinda bummed the rig is down. -
Board has been good till now but did have a service warranty message some time ago.
But upgraded firmware and been great since. Board totally died today. Full battery was vaping at 100 watts with a .16 build took 2 hits and died on the 3rd hit. Nothing on the screen.
Connected it to Escribe and nothing.
Took the mod apart and desoldered all connections and connected usb and still nothing.
Fuse still good tested both sides of fuse and all is good.
Visually inspected board for burnt components and can't see any. No burnt smell at all.
I do believe brandon was right when he told me that with the service warranty message
the board will eventually die. And It did just that today.
I have the RMA form filled out and chip all boxed up and getting ready to ship back.
Included copy of receipt.
Brandon Hope we can get this taken care of in a timely manner.

You may not have pinched the ribbon cable with the fire button.
But you prob have a short where the ribbon cable connects to the screen.
This is a very fragile connection at the transition from ribbon cable to screen glass.
The factory adds a type of epoxy they call it. I call it more of a silicone.
Where the cable meets the screen. I have also noticed the factory has put a piece of black tape
on the opposite side from the epoxy. The epoxy is on the wrong side and the tape is too.
What I do is remove the piece of tape carefully and use some REAL epoxy to replace the tape.
This helps to stiffen up the connection.
My suggestion to you is replace the screen and use the epoxy where suggested. -
Just wanted to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to "Turbocad6" i.e...john
THANKS SO MUCH for all your HELP & Support !!!!
Your a Gentleman & Scholar !!!
Received the 2 Items in Perfect Condition.

The screen ribbon cable is pinched by the fire button.
I know this for a "fact".
When the cable gets pinched it will "definitely" cause the warranty service message
to be displayed. And show a half glitched screen just like your picture.
How do I know this for a fact ?
Because it happened to ME.
Evolv says it out of calibration and needed to be sent in for service.
If it was out of calibration I don't think it could fix it's self by just changing the screen
and upgrading the firmware. Not trying to contradict evolv just stating facts.
But before I sent it in I replaced the screen and used 8/21 firmware and
BINGO works great NO problems any more.
That was "months" ago.

Thank you I already know about the fields settings.
But there is no setting in there to keep the "(Last)"voltage on the screen.
You can keep the "Last" power......"Last" energy......BUT NO "Last" Voltage -
James
There is one feature I think we all would like to have.
What I would love to see is the volts shown continuously
without having to push the fire button.
Please everyone that agrees give this post a SHOUT OUT. -
You stated all 4 of these are from EVOLV.
So are you saying EVOLV made 4 different size reference enclosures ?
Not that I knew of.
They only made 1 size.
The small 900mah one.
Maybe I am incorrect.
If I am please correct me.

We all know by now that the factory that produces the OLED Screens had a fire. And there is a shortage. I would be willing to pay a good price for 2 or even one OLED Screen ? Please if there is anyone out there that can help me I would most appreciate it. Walt

Here is another feature request.
It would be great if we could just type the text in Escribe we want in our screens without
having to use paint to create our custom screens.
Walt -
Thank you so much James for the Escribe update.
It has fixed the black flashing screen in live view with parallel and XP sp3

James said:
This occurs even with the newest version of EScribe? I'd thought I'd fixed it about a month ago.
Yes James still flashes in XP.
It is very aggravating.
Please fix this James.
I can't switch Microsoft OS.
Thank you in advance.

Could be a few different things.
1 Could be the USB cable your using. Try a different cable.
2 Your computer Operating system. Try defraging.
3 Files corrupted in escribe. Uninstall & Reinstall current version of Escribe.
4 Hard Reboot device.
Just my 2 cents ! -
John said:
Ah good. Keep an eye on it, but if the newest firmware made it start cooperating, and the mod isn't getting unusually warm, then excellent!
Warranty service really means it is running out of calibration for one reason or another.
John I wanted you to know that when the message showed up my ohm's where so unstable
using nickel wire that the ohms where going from .15 to .02 and every where in-between. And my build was checked out at .15 on my ohms meter.
I have stopped using nickel wire and have been using kanthal all day chain vaping it and ohms
and every other thing stable. No more message....No more freaky screen freak outs either.
You can see by the picture you can only read half the warranty message that wasn't a picture reflection that was part of the screen freak out I am talking about. But all that is gone now too.
So again James thanks for the new FW. -
James said:
Hello promod2000avenger,
What do you mean by XP 'flashes between black and normal screen'? This sounds like a bug we ought to fix. Could you describe the behavior (or post a video)?
Thanks,
James
James what I mean is, In the live view graph window it shows the live data when I vape
but flashes back and forth erratically from black to white in the live view window.
It's not a resolution problem either. I tried all resolutions low and high.
But understand that I am using parallels on a mac with windows xp.
It could very well be the problem it's self.
Walt -
Well of coarse it won't fix bad cables or pinched ribbons or blown fuses.
I'm just trying to help people out and also help Evolv from getting
unwanted and un needed service if this would fix some peoples problems.
So thats why I'm sharing my good fortune on using the new FW because yes it fixed
all my problems, and it is not just a coincidence.
I'm not trying to give people false hope.

Been trying to make the DNA 200 in a flask do-able.
Some of my problems are as follows.
Button configuration. (have to use remote buttons)
Screen location. (have to make custom screen ribbon cable)
And USB port.
I am thinking I have to design a 3D printed sled to get everything to work.
I'll keep you all updated when I succeed.

I had the WARRANTY SERVICE message too after updating to 7/29
I was going to ship the chip in for replacement but decided to try
FW 8/7 And BINGO works great ALL my problems gone for now.
We will see what happens in the next few days.
I will keep all of you updated on how it's going.
So my suggestion is TRY 8/7 FW.
Sounds to me there is a glitch in 7/29 FW for some chips.

Thank you James. I had a feeling that's what it was.
