VTbox200 Problem.

[Doyle4]

A friend has passed over me his VTbox200, will only turn on when plugged in via usb, the charged lipo battery is not been detected and sometimes a Warrenty service logo will appear. Any ideas? Thanks

Check the board for juice damage. Also check and clean the fire button. Also check closely around the balance connector.

Thanks BillW50.

Spotted the fuse has blown, ordered a couple and will fit one soon as they arrive, fingers crossed this solves it.

Had fuse replaced today by someone else, was too tricky for me, works, boy boy is it a bad job its not flush like the stock one, but it works.

Thanks for getting back to us. Hopefully that soldering job will last forever.

ive had to replace a fuse and its a realy fast job, and on an insitue board very fiddly, and definatly doesnt look like its been fitted by a robot, the pads are tiny, the mod has been put through its passes for the past six months with no problems, i blamed a bad charger, one of thoes double 1Amp things, i fiered it while charging and it poped, i binned that charger. Next time i have to do one i think i will put a blob across both tabs and fit an automotive mini blade fuse to the battery pos wire..
