Hi, Had my device about 8/9 months been working fine. But has now started to turn off and only work when reconnected to usb 5v. It works for a while after without power connected. If I leave it for a few hours it will then not work, only the blue fire LED lights up. I have changed the battery, but the problem still exists. I have also updated the firmware after the problem started also but the problem will not go away. Does anybody know what the problem is? I have seen it mentioned but no one appears to know what the issue is? VJ

Thats interesting, wonder where the powers going to.. any heat coming off it?

My bad, it is not draining the battery. I cannot log in to the VS website (from UK) which is rather annoying. I'll never buy any of this junk again from these, expensive bricks they produce and can't even run a website.

Oh ok must have been someone els, if your not going to build your own, i would suggest the cheapest you can find, its the board and performance your after, not the box, if its horible you can allways paint it or put stikers on it..

I brought it for size and the 2A /10w charging. Value took a back seat. I was expecting quality though and it has let me down. I am an electrician with basic electronic knowledge. I was hoping someone could tell me what has caused the issue.. It could be just software as it works fine as soon as 5v is connected. Maybe it is to do with the unit switching to standby.. Which it doesn't come out of?.. I love the device it's been great for me used everyday at work and home. I'll wait till they sort the website and use another device in the meantime.

Well if it is the fuse, you know how that goes. Sometimes they just blow for no reason. The middle of last year, Evolv got a batch of fuses that didn't hold up well and that didn't help matters either. If you own meter, you can check to see if it is open. If you can solder small pads, you can replace it too.

It can't possibly be the fuse, it works! The fuse is inline with the lipo positive supply, surely it would not fire from the balance lead supply, that would be very silly if it did.


Oh sorry, I must have read it was the fuse in another thread. o.O

Having same problem with my wismec dna. Plug it into charger comes on. Can unplug from cord. Can use it fine all day even the screen can go off & it will come back on & still work fine. If I let it sit for about 20 to 30 min. I have to plug back in for a second to get it to work again. I did open a ticket yesterday. So see what they say. Wire connection to board is good and fuse is good.

I have seen the thread, can't see where it mentions the same issue..? Or am I missing it? Well I now know it is discharging the battery on its own, I left it for a few hours and came back it was warm and gone from 40% to 2% strange as I left it lastnight and the battery was ok. This is a new pack so I'll have to disconnect it so it doesn't ruin it early. Cell 2 was below 3v in escribe when plugged in. Surely this is a Evlov issue not VS? Can I not just open a ticket direct with them? VJ
