dwcraig1 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Maybe the screen is not on the bottom as we think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbocad6 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I've seen pictures with the 200w screen on the bottom somewhere before, unless it was a pre dna200 that was photoshopped with the 200w display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridgedog Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yea...I was referring to the pre-production renders of the DNA200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueridgedog Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Some folks in the RC world indicated that these folks could make a custom cable (qty of 1 and above):http://www.miracoinc.com/services-capabilities/flat-flexible-cables-design-sourcing-fcds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To eliminate the problems, I would first start with the easy stuff before resoldering what looks like a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try having very little solder on the tip and swipe it across quickly( multiple times if needed) but make sure you have plenty of flux on the connector and the cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Looks good, I've been afraid of messing up my screen going that route, but seeing how you got it to work I may get a few screens and try it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iandvaypes Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I was also about to say modcrate. Less than $5, you've got to to crazy not to buy a bunch of screens. I bought 5 for myself. Never can have too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandvaypes Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 May be slightly off topic, this is how I extended my usb. You might think I'm crazy but it works great. Hooked up to escribe and it allowed me to upload a custom screen for "check atomizer." I used the pins of a micro usb plug that I tore apart. And to stay on topic, you can see in the pic how I used heat shrink for the ribbon joint on the screen. I cut up two small pieces of an old gift card and sandwiched the joint. Then I surrounded the joint with heat shrink. Protection with a nice clean look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
