  1. You also need to set the number of cells, using eScribe, in the configuration for the mod and save that to the mod.
  2. Try disconnecting/removing the batteries and leave it completely unpowered overnight. I had a similar problem with a 100C and doing that cured it. As with everything YMMV.
  3. I want to share this in the hope that it will help someone else. I have two DNA100C's and one got knocked off an end table. It took a hit to the screen that resulted in a black blob in the center of the screen making it impossible to read what was going on. I have replacement color screens, so time for a replacement. Took it apart, de-soldering the negative battery lead first, then positive battery lead and then the 510 lead. Removed the board, cleaned up the pads and installed a new screen. I put it back together in the reverse order, 510 lead, positive lead, negative lead. Pressed the fire button, once, and the screen lit right up. Reassembled the case. Unfortunately when I went to unlock it it wouldn't unlock. All I got was five orange dots on the bottom of the screen. Now what? I posted the problem on another forum and BillW50 suggested disconnecting the battery for a half hour. I also opened a ticket with Evolv and got an response the same day. Evolv asked about shorts from soldering, but there were none, so I de-soldered the negative lead again and let it sit overnight to be sure. The objective being to clear any memory that might be maintained by a small capacitor. The next morning I soldered the negative lead back on and immediately tested for unlock functionality. Success! My DNA100C was working again! Two take aways - 1 - Black blobs on the screen can happen from random impact and are not necessarily liquid or screen problem related.. 2 - Leaving the board unpowered will clear any memory, corrupted or otherwise. Hope this helps someone else cure a problem like this.
  4. I have two 250Cs mounted in N1 cases with 4S/2200mah batteries and have been charging them with USB from day one. Day one was June 6, 2018 when the 250C was only out for about a month. Excellent battery life by the way, say ~30ML of liquid running at ~30 watts/400F.
