Carve Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 My device will not stay on unless plugged in, I literally just got it back today from Evolv RMA. I have tried everything from different firmware all the way up to the latest, hard reboots, everything I can think of.The device simply will not stay on unless plugged in, if I hold the power button down it stays on with batteries only, obviously this is wrong. I checked the device monitor and it states (with 3 batteries in it) roughly cell 1 around 2.50 V, cell 2 at 0.01 V and cell 3 at 2.50 V without the 3rd battery, with 3rd battery it jumps to 5.80ish VAlso the plus and minus buttons are sticking now, as is the fire button (ie; acting as being held down at times, I have to fiddle with the button to stop it).My device functioned perfectly fine before sending into RMA because of a blown fuse so I don't really understand what could be wrong at this point.

BobC Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Are you saying you sent it to Evolv to repair a blown fuse,and this is how they returned back to you? What caused the blown fuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What caused the blown fuse?Correct. I have no idea what caused the blown fuse, mod shut off randomly one day around 60% battery, was told it was a fuse and sent it in, received mod in that condition.

BobC Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 The fact the fuse blew in the first place is a problem, it wouldn't be up to Evolv to fix the device, just replace the fuse on the board, so you're back to the original problem.To me, it sounds like you have a wiring problem, happened to me, so I re-wired everything but the 510 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kismetcapitan Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 take a very good look at the balance wires, insure they are in the correct position, and that all soldering points are solid. also check the jumpers on the board. that's where I found my problem and fixed this very issue.oh, and your buttons are sticking most likely because the faceplate screws are torqued too tightly; they're the bottom four screws also holding in the battery sled.
