  1. It sounds like you might have had a tiny piece of solder bridging something on the board somewhere. When I suspect something like this I take a jewelers loupe and look over every single bit of the pcb in question and I will do this 2 , 3 , 4 maybe 5 times until I can be 100% positive with no doubt that I would have found it if that was the problem. And I have been surprised by what I have found before even straight from the factory with some pcb's .
  2. I meant what I said your themes really are awesome. The best thing about your themes is the diagnostic capabilities. I have dealt with a lot of themes that have problems in them when you download them and then you have me the 200 pound gorilla messing with stuff I don't understand and it doesn't turn out good . Let's just say there's a lot of swearing trying to figure out what is wrong and you end up chasing your tail and it can get frustrating. Then you come along with the answer to that problem. They should construct a statue of you or maybe even make a new holiday in your honor. But all jokes aside there are really helpful features and you did a great job on them and anything that makes using the DNA chip easier is awesome. How did you come up with that feature anyway because like I said it's probably one of the most useful things I have seen someone put into a theme. A+ you get a gold star ⭐
  3. This theme is the man . It has features that I haven't seen in other themes. Every theme put out by this guy is worth having no your box . It may sound stupid but the biggest problem is coming to a decision of which one of them you are going to use . aMirS I made some small changes like a font change for the number displays and changed the color of a few icons but thank you for doing the really hard part. You put a whole lot of time and effort into what you have created and it shows. It sucks they only have 5 stars because you deserve more thanks for sharing with everyone.
  4. Do you have pre heat on ? If you do and the pre hat temp is set low it will make it seam like it fires slow .
  5. Happy new year to you as well . When you solder that so you don't burn the ribbon take a small piece of foil and place it on top of what you are soldering that should help with keeping the ribbon in Good shape and let me know if you end up needing this thing it isn't going anywhere so it will be here if you do
  6. Well like I had said in the other post if you were willing to get a new ribbon cable connector and solder it in yourself. Then skip the connector and solder the little contacts that are left of the knackered clip directly to the ribbon cable. It's very easy to do get some low melting point soldering paste and spread some on the ribbon and place it were you want it and heat it with the hot stick. I'm not sure how much time you have had working with a soldering iron but the one thing to be aware of when using soldering paste don't use it like the bigger the gob the better the job mo paste don't mean mo better . Use only a little and it will all flow to the meatal to metal joints and won't leave any solder between joints to short on out your hard work. I don't know about you but when I dump a bunch of effort into something and something like solder crossing over pads and shorting out ruins as ll no that effort. As if by magic that project takes flight across my shop hits the wall and breaks itself down into smaller pieces . If you try doing something like this the worst that could happen is the broke connector stays broke and you are out a couple dollars sorry I meant quid for a screen . I have to been working on electronics for most of my life and that is what I would do if I were in your situation . But the whole board is still there if that's path you want to take and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it I thought it was was acting up so I swapped it with a new one and the same things were happening . Ask it turns out it was the cheap coils I bought trying to save a few cents . It hasn't started the magic flight yet though .
  7. Like I said I just put a brand new board in my mod today just because I had an extra one if we can figure out how to work it out I can send you the one I took out still works it just about two years old so I replaced it let me know what you think I'll send you a picture of it
  8. Are you sure it's broke I pulled out an extra board I have and it looks the same that part pulls up to let the ribbon in or out . My brand new board looks just like that when putting the ribbon in make sure it's in all the way or that part that lifts up won't stay clipped but that part is supposed to lift if you look at the ribbon it has a notch on each side that is how it's locked in place once you push that little hinged piece back down .If you want I have an extra 75 c board I could probably sell you but I don't know how we would work that out. If you look at the part you could desolder it and solder the ribbon directly to the board just use low temp solder paste and it should work fine or solder the ribbon directly to the pins I would try that first.
  9. If you see this check your emails I sent you all the icons sorry it took so long but better late than never right
    I have a question about your enhanced evolv landscape theme . I was running this same theme before with a couple of tweaks and it worked flawless best theme I have used. I wanted to get rid of the changes I made to the theme so I reinstalled the theme just as you made it with no changes this time. I am now having a issue every time I take a puff after it's been sitting for a second it keeps asking if it's a new coil . I have made small changes to this theme countless times and it runs with no problem but now this time it's acting up with no changes . I am really kinda stumped on this so any insight you might have would be greatly appreciated thanks again for all the hours you spend making these themes and sharing them with all of us and I'll be looking forward to seeing what you might think this issue might be .
  10. Sorry it's taking so long when I sent the other icons my flash drive was corrupted I'm putting my collection together again so I will get them to you in the next couple of days and sorry again for the delay
    I had a theme i was working on myself but stopped using it because it was having problems . Using this helped me understand some things to look for to fix my own theme. I have used themes in the past that always had the temp protect warning pop up and didn't know why. If you are having temp control issues or issues period check this out it might help you get to the bottom of those problems that have been driving you crazy
