Dog Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 My screen one day began dimming itself any time the fire button was touched, even if it wasn't touched hard enough to fire. The next week, it started doing it on it's own until eventually it did it all the time. I took the board out to check the ribbon for a pinch, and there wasn't one. I checked the clamp for any bad connections, and there weren't any. Then, after having moved the screen, it began randomly displaying atomizer preset screens, and displaying two screens at the same time (one display on the top half of the screen, one on the bottom) I have no clue what to try next. Is the board bad? Weird screen connection? Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridgedog Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 At first I was thinking cable pinch, but you checked that. A board error is the only thing I can think of, though the error you describe is one I have not seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promod2000avenger Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 You may not have pinched the ribbon cable with the fire button.But you prob have a short where the ribbon cable connects to the screen.This is a very fragile connection at the transition from ribbon cable to screen glass.The factory adds a type of epoxy they call it. I call it more of a silicone.Where the cable meets the screen. I have also noticed the factory has put a piece of black tapeon the opposite side from the epoxy. The epoxy is on the wrong side and the tape is too.What I do is remove the piece of tape carefully and use some REAL epoxy to replace the tape.This helps to stiffen up the connection.My suggestion to you is replace the screen and use the epoxy where suggested.

Spector NS5 RD Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 does anyone know if the lavabox has the same problem as the reuleaux and early hana v200's ? screen ribbon getting caught under the fire button damaging the screen etc.?

ryanflynn997 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 so did anyone ever figure out the issue? my lavabox just did the exact same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I would guess that the screen cable has got between the button actuator and the switch and shorting/breaking some of the data lines in the cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanflynn997 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 it looked like the fire button was hitting the ribbon. i just seen this thread and was hoping it wasn't a board. because i got it second hand for a decent deal because he said it might be the board. so i press the fire button and the screen goes off and now it completly died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanflynn997 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 if someone could enlighten me on if i should buy a board or screen. that would be awesome because i don't know what i should do lol. i press the fire button and the screen would shut off and now the screen doesn't turn on at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 My guess is that it's the screen.... hook it up to EScribe and see if everything else still functions.... I assume it still vapes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanflynn997 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 no it does not still vape. but what do i do in escribe to see if it's just the screen ? i'm new to the dna200 board since i just got this lavabox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's probably more than the screen if it won't vape... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanflynn997 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 i have no clue... it vaped okay before the screen died and when i touched the fire button it would fire until the screen shut off and then the screen completely died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanflynn997 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 i mean you barely had to touch the fire button for the screen to shut off too. and then the screen just stopped working completly. i contacted evolv 3 days ago and still no answer from them either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black lace Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 What did you say the name of the mod was, some where renound for a robbon pinch, and ribbon loop rubbing on fire button, think one was the hcig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black lace Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 It sounds like there was a fault with the screen and now the fuse has blown. It may have just been codged up with juice. does escribe recognise it connected? Can you get it open and visualy inspect the fuse and the rest of its inards.

ryanflynn997 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yes it connects with escribe and everyone looks good on the inside fuse dont look bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanflynn997 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Haha so I opened it all up unscrewed the board and boom I can see everything... Guess maybe just a bad screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
