LKnives Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Having a weird issue with a custom DNA-200 I had made. The screen immediately dims after the fire button is released and sporadically it will just work normally but mostly will not. Odd thing is is that I have it's twin brother setup identically to it and it does not exhibit this behaviour. I've restored default settings and I've hard rebooted the device to no avail.Video displaying problem: https://youtu.be/IgTlFaQ9FRABefore I started playing with settings the screen would only be lit while the fire button was pressed. I now have it to where it will only be dimmed.JDNA200.ecig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black lace Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Am on mobile so cant copy and paste to look on utube, but that sounds like a bad connection, worst case a cracked or snagged screen ribbon, but hopefully a greasy contact or juice in the screen connector tabs. Your gonna have ta get back in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKnives Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Oh man, I hope not. I just got the box back after knocking a magnet out of one of the buttons. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKnives Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Just talked to the guy who had it last and he said he had to reset that cable when he worked on it. He knows his stuff so if there was damage to the ribbon cable he would recognize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKnives Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 When the board is on USB power the issue disappears and comes back when under the battery power. Guessing it's a battery issue then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Does the mod fire OK when with USB cable connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKnives Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yeah, it fires fine on or off USB power. I'm getting ready for bed so I'll have to confirm this in the morning but the issue seems to go away above 75% battery charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black lace Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 set it up how you need it, put it in stealth mode, use it for the day, if there are no other issues come to light, the screens buggered.. or poorly fitted.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKnives Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hmm.. Weird that it works fine above a certain charge level if it's a screen issue but I really wouldn't know.Guy who wired it for me doesn't really have time to deal with it so I guess I will wait until I am back to work and replace it with the Lavabox or something. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LKnives Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Alright, might take a bit as the lipo in it is a bit beefy but I just switched it over to show battery voltage. (I love Escribe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKnives Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Or perhaps I won't have to wait very long, as it just now started doing it again. Box says the voltage is 12.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW50 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Oh... that is just under 4.10v per cell. Hmm... that wasn't what I was hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwcraig1 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Well if you get energetic enough maybe switch screens between the two mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just barely under 4.1 per cell is a really problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black lace Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I see what your getting at,, i wouldnt recomend swapping the screens over though, the ribbons cant take being reworked. i think he would be better to buy a new screen for the sake of a few quid, he then wont be desturbing a working mod..
