No charge

Battery on my DNA won't charge or connect to escribe! I've tried 6 different cables and 4 different blocks, and I even tried an external lipo balance charger and nothing. It shows the battery is the same on mine but when I put it into my buddies mod it's showing that it's over half way charged

what do mean you tried an external charger, you took the lipo out and it won't charge the lipo with an external charger? your buddies mod might have a different watt hour setting, therefore showing a different level of charge. does the mod vape? what the individual cell voltages on the lipo pack? this is a cloudmaker whiteout, correct? you've had the mod connect to escribe, with no problems, previous to this problem?

Me and my buddy have the same mod. I used an external charger to charge it but it's showing on my mod that it wasn't charged. Even though it shows a higher charge on his. And the mod does vape. I can't check the cells voltage with escribe as it won't connect

There are four wires in an USB cable. If one fails, the DNA won't connect. Also rebooting your computer can solve some connection problems. At this point, I would try your friend's computer to try to connect.

Are you saying the plug connector on the dna could have failed? I'm going to try another computer today

[BillW50]

No, what I am saying is that USB cables are usually the first to go. So they are the first to check. Also some USB cables are wired for charging and not for data connections. So those won't work either to connect to. Although they are fine for charging if they can handle 1A ok.

[pacasso1194]

Yea I've tried 6 cables and 4 different power blocks along with 4 USB ports none of them work

[BillW50]

Well that is more than convincing to me that it isn't the USB cable.

[pacasso1194]

So what could it be?

I would try another computer next. If that works, then maybe your Windows USB driver for Evolv is corrupt (we'll tell you how to fix this). If it doesn't work on another computer, it sounds like the DNA board is at fault.
