nystyletaco Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 No updates on their FB page for quite awhile, no response from their service e-mail address.I have one of their DNA 200 models and the screen has pretty much stopped working (usually black, sometime glitches a bit and shows some info before turning off again). I'm suspecting its the screen cable getting pinched but I don't trust my (de)soldering skills to try and fix this damn thing. The mod still works fine, just no screen.Am I SOL here unless I buy a soldering kit and get to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 IDK know about Hana, but are you sure you need a soldering iron to swap the screen? The screen it's self connects with a ZIF socket (zero insertion force). If you open a ticket with Evolv they will probably change the screen for you http://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nystyletaco Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well, I had though that the leads from the 510 to the board were going to be too short for me to do that, but it seems like theres enough slack to get it out. I've got the board and the screen separated now, so I suppose I'll order a new screen from Evolv and give it a shot.Thanks for inspiring me to take another look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awsum140 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 There's a trick to pre-folding the ribbon cable to help avoid that problem. The ribbon cable is a lot tuffer than it looks or you might think. If you use a plastic straight edge, credit card, you can get the necessary bends in place. Think sort of a "Z"shape starting at the first hole in the Ziff end and ending just short of the glass at the display end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latch on the battery door cracked and they shipped one out right away. From the first email to when I had a tracking number was 3 days I think and the part will be here tomorrow.In the subject line of a email be direct about the problem and they should read it and get back with you. I have noticed if I ever ask about stock on devices or anything general they do not answer. If I say its a broken part they are pretty prompt in reply.

I have two extra of those parts, if yours broke where mine did I would send you one of mine. You can install the part pretty easily as it has screws that hold the whole latch together. I think maybe they are just not answering on Facebook anymore.edit: I have three of those parts here they sent me. That part of the latch is plastic and if you over tighten the screws they split.

txmonkey214 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 They don't seem to be on the scene, to say the least. I had service on 2 DNA 40's, recently. I got them back in mid-July. Try contacting them at info@hanamodz.com. Send it to both emails, at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattoo75 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I rigged mine since I didn't get a response and needed to use it. I solder the ground wire to the brass and super glued the door closed and just charge tho the usb . I know method is jankey but it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTMRider Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I had the same issue with my Hana v200 last year. They answered a couple of emails and then ignored me. Evolv stepped up and sent me a new screen. Here's how I bent the ribbon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for Evolv to repair or replace the old one, they have only had it for a few days but was wondering what the best approach would be. The original screen was hot glued in place. Was thinking maybe there was a better way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTMRider Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I used electrical tape (3M) and a piece of closed cell foam between the board and screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
