Open a ticket with Evolv.

With the front faceplate off, at the bottom of the DNA200 PCB, is four solder connections. 3 - Nothing connected 2 - Red wire 1 - White wire GND - Nothing connected With the battery cover off and looking back there, far left is cell 1, the closest to you in the center is cell 2, and far right is cell 3. The white wire should go to positive of cell 1 and the negative of cell 2. It is acting like it isn't connected there. Maybe the wire is opened inside of the insulation?

That is why you shouldn't worry with a fresh unused battery. Once they get cycled a few times their capacity will level out and stabilize.

Yeah I haven't seen one of them torn apart either. Maybe something on youtube or something.

The percentage is tied into the watt hours. If you change the value it will change it. Remember if a battery says 900mah or something. That doesn't mean it is exactly 900mah. Not even two straight off of the manufacturing line has the exact same capacity. Oh sure, they are going to be close, but not exactly.

Well under EScribe under Themes, you can capture the screen shot. So you can use it that way to set things. Also no display but everything else works is usually a bad screen ribbon. Evolv sells them for 12 bucks and the datasheet has instructions how to replace it.

Oh crap! Well it sure looks like it is draining the cells for sure. What kind of mod is this again? There is no juice or anything in there right? The wires doesn't have any insulation scraped off or anything, right? Maybe if you can take a photo or something of the insides?

Cell individual voltages is one thing, but what does the pack voltage say (this is the sum of all three cells)? If the cells are good, it should be 9v to 12.6v. And really about the recovery charging? It has to be 1v or higher?

Open up the Device Monitor, Diagnostic, Advanced, and Perform USB Recovery Charging. This will attempt to bring that 0v cell back up.

If you are going to charge the batteries externally, you could in EScribe change the battery type to power supply. Now it doesn't care what the cell voltages are, nor will it charge through the USB either.

You could splice the wire too. Then tape it or something so it doesn't short anything.

Sure, I would replace the wire and solder in a new one. Make sure you use a wire just as thick or thicker.

IDK = I don't know

I believes it learns a bit as you use it. Laptops battery percent does the same thing with their lipo batteries. As they go through a few cycles it should be more and more accurate.

Under EScribe and the mod tab, Manufacturer Settings, there is a Discharge Profile. On the far left of the graph, does it say 4.20v 100%? Also if you use the toggle Maximize Recharges (at the top), your cells will only charge to 4.10v.

But would a screen cable short also cause a check atomizer error?

Well it would be nice to know what is really going on with that cell 3. But it won't fire because it sees no cell 3 voltage. If you don't have a multimeter to check the voltages. Then the only other thing to do is to open up the Device Monitor, Diagnostic, Advanced, and Perform USB Recovery Charging. This will attempt to bring that 0v cell back up.

Yes that is what I want to see under the Device Monitor. Things are changing, but what things when you press the fire button?

Have you used the Device Monitor to see what is happening with the cell voltages, power output, resistance, etc. when you press the fire button?

Yup, that sucks.

The only thing I can think of that would be a long shot, but easy to try is to do a force firmware update. I think that is under Tools too, but I am not sure.

While having the DNA connected to EScribe, Tools -> Reboot -> Hard Reboot.

That is all of them right now.
