Hcigar Vt167 Battery Check (DNA250)

[ivansn]

Accidentally I changed battery setting from Lithium polymer to Power Supply mode. But when I try to change back to lithium polymer setting with general battery settings (11.1 Wh, 2-cell, 3.09V cutoff) then upload settings, still cannot charge and display battery check everytime I press firing button.

Try downgrading to SP3 or SP5a firmware still do not work.

What should I do?

What does eScribe show for cells 1 & 2 voltage?

Cell 1 : 1.17V
Cell 2 : 4.61V

Switch battery position or using other full charged battery type/brand (vtc4/vtc5/samsung 25r/lg hg2) is also the same results.

Sorry to tell you but the board is the problem.

Same thing happened to my VT133, Evolv had me send in the board and they sent me a new one. They were going to let me send the whole mod but I just sent the board.

[ivansn]

how can I send to Evolv? Open ticket first or how?

I switch the place of two batteries and it display the same thing. And both batteries work in my other mod (evic vtwo mini) 
I use LG HG2

All your settings look ok but seeing the 4.91v on cell #2 is a good indication that there is a problem with the device...if it is still in warranty, you might contact the vendor you bought it from or email Hcigar at...service@hcigar.com

thank you, I did send them an email.

did you charge the cells inside or outside the mod? contact the vendor about a replacement since it has only been 3 days.

Before breaking, I charged the batteries inside. The seller is a private person who bought the device from someone in the United States ) 30 dollar devices do not have such problems.

the board inside of the mod is covered under warranty for 1 year by Evolv. open a help ticket and explain your situation. they can help you. the link is located in the bottom of my signature.

Thanks, I'll try
