flo_46 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi,I just bought a Vapedroid C1D2, and the down button is not working properly. the down button, in wattage mode, goes up instead and I can't access the menu for TC and what not...Using the monitor on Escribe, the "simulate button press" works fine, but on the mod it doesn't, so I guess the board is ok ? am I wrong ?So my questions are : Does it come from faulty welding on the dna board ?Can I repare this myself ? if yes how ? menaning Is it complicated to strip down the mod and fix it ?i looked at the data sheet, I've seen where the problem might come from (holes 3, 4, 5 or 6 ) but i would apreciate some insight before I go further.Thanks for your replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayneo Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Welcome @flo_46Why don't you return it to your place of purchase for a replacement? BTW, if the 'down' button makes the wattage go 'up', what does pressing the 'up' button do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 In EScribe under the Mod Tab and the Mechanical Setting what does it say, Normal or Swapped? Under the Screen Tab look at Display Settings and does it say Right or Left. Right and Normal - up and down buttons operate and are oriented to the way the screen facesLeft and Swapped - up and down buttons operate and are oriented to the way the screen now facesMixing any combination orients the screen one way and the buttons in the opposite orientation (up would be down opposing the way the screen faces).Maybe this may help if not set accordingly...

flo_46 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I opened it up, looks like #6 is not welded !what do you u think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 3 and 4 are for the down button5 and 6 are for the up buttonYou should check the wiring for all pins 3 thru 6 to make sure they go to the right buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo_46 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 duly noted,I'll try to take the board out without breaking it I have to unscrew the 2 GND and 1 out torx screws to do so... right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 If you have a continuity tester (ohm meter) you could check the buttons with that... test board connection at 3 and 4 while pushing the button and see if you have continuity.... same with connection 5 and 6. Take out batteries first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo_46 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 ok, i'll try this.If I understand correctly, where there's no continuity is where there is a problem, and where it needs welding...thanks a lot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flo_46 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I can totally see that giz_60 ! Now my biggest concern is how to get the board out since the wires are on the other sides ! I' no expert ! Like i said ealier i think i have to unscrew (if i find the right tool) the 3 torx screws at gnd and then check the wiring ! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo_46 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 hey, so i took the board off... and it looks like this it appears the #6 has nowhere to connect to...Can someone tell me why there's only one wire on this side ?the black wire is connected on #5 (up +) ? Is it normal there's no wire on #4 (down +) ?Somebody help !!!! what's wrong with this setup ?Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Sure doesn't look like a 75 board...check the difference from this picture off of Evolv's website... Button layout is completely different, as well as components on the board....markings on the board, etc...you may have a cloned board. But it appears that the black wire has been added & connected to pin #5 is probably why the down button is also activating 'up' as well. You might try removing the black wire & see if that fixes your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo_46 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I think the Dna board is underneath the one you see, cause there a 2 boards on my set upI can see the "up" written on one side and "down" on the other side just like it shows on the dna picture.Also, when i connect to evolv website via escribe, I have no issue, I don't think it's a clone issue...just a wiring one.cutting the black wire ? are you sure ????thanks !!!!!!

giz_60 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I didn't see the second board in your picture till I blew it up...if the #5 pin on that board is connected to the #5 pin on the DNA 75 board, then the down button on that board is connected to the 'up' circuit on the 75 board. Judging by your picture, that wire appears to have been added on...Remove it at your own risk, but that's what I would try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo_46 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 i'm a little sceptical on cutting the wire...no offense !i'll wait and see if someone opens up its VapeDroid to see what the wiring should be !!!thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 No offense taken...you should be able to tell if the wire has been added by the solder joints. Also, there are no other wires coming from the other switch either. It's possible that there was some kind of issue & someone added the wire to get the down button working & soldered it to the wrong pin...at this point, it is a guessing game, since you got the device second hand...Good Luck!!

dwcraig1 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm guessing here but all the +'s are really the same no matter their label. So if you pick up power off just one it could power the added board for all buttons. How about a picture from the side showing how the 6 connections are made from one board to the other?

Spector NS5 RD Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 the up and down button's neg pin-outs on the dna are tied directly together / to ground. looks like VD used a common ground path for both -/+, requiring the use of only 3 of the 4 available -/+ pin-outs. this is common practice to save material (wire) and time. short answer - the last up button pin-out not being soldered is OK and not needed. @flo_46 can you take a better, closer pic of VD's daughter board for me? i might be able to help you out.....also... can you check for continuity between these two point of the switch. should have continuity when button is pressed, no continuity when not pressed.

flo_46 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hey,so I took off the black wire (even if I shouldn't have!!!) and the change is that the left button is inactive now ! the button on the right hand side still works properly.. here are more detailed pictures; Any thoughts ?
