giz_60 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 The screen will stay on if it is hooked up to USB...you can turn the charging brightness down in the 'Screen' tab... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector NS5 RD Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 since the DNA 200/250 only does balance discharging, you may have to just vape the mod down to the "weak" or "imbalanced battery" message then put back on USB charge. the lipo could be on it's way out or you have some ejuice near the balance resistors/USB area. i'm not sure how well the "USB recovery" will work with cell voltages above 2v.....the thought is, drain the cells as much as possible then let balancing circuit try and do it's thing with plenty of head room before reaching the 4.2v cutoff point.

Spector NS5 RD Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 you need a new board. if the board does wake up without having the USB inserted, the board needs to be replaced. you must have a very early board. this issue was fixed a long time ago, a couple years ago.

Chelo Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Its 2015 august as escribe says.. There is no other posible way to fix it ?? .. Or may it be problem of battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector NS5 RD Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 none that i know of, sorry. it's an actual component on the board that is causing the problem. here's what to do........ at the bottom of my signature there is a link to the Evolv help desk. open a help ticket, explain your situation about the board not powering up unless USB is inserted and they may take in the entire mod for repair. then again, they may just want the board only. i would also contact Volcano customer service and see if there is anything they can do for you.

Spector NS5 RD Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 ya, you most likely could use a new lipo. but more importantly, a new board. you said it will NOT wake up after it goes to sleep? you need to insert a USB cable to wake it? that's an early issue that affected some early boards. (2015 boards). now since fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelo Posted April 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Oh.. Its another board man.. This one is not charging battery and second one ia not waking up without usb. Damn.. There is no chance repair it (second one) online or firmware upgrade or aomthing like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector NS5 RD Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 the early board that doesn't wake up, no. the board that isn't charging your lipo correctly, yes. you would need to open the mod and inspect the board carefully for any ejuice or missing components. if no ejuice on board, all components are in place, then you know you need to buy a new fullymax 900 mah lipo. or.... if you have 2 lavabox's (or the same lipo), you can switch the bad lipo with the good one and see if that fixes the issue. either way you're opening up the mod(s).

Spector NS5 RD Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 1. and 2. - latest versions of EScribe and firmware can be found through the link in my signature at bottom of this post.3. - bad board or lipo. hard to diagnose over the internet. swap lipos between mods to find out.
