TempeModder Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hello, I am having an issue with my device only showing 0.10 Amp charge rate on the display. I have attempted to change to 1 Amp in the device monitor but I am not seeing any change. Battery is a turnigy 1500 mAh. I have tried a 1A usb charging block as well as a 2.4, I have also tried 3 different USB cables, several of which are charge cables.Also while plugged into escribe the charging bolt blinks on an off at random. (May be something to do with using a mac with virtual box???)Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector NS5 RD Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 only when plugged into escribe the charge indicator blinks? does it blink steadily or is it random? how about when plugged into a wall outlet adapter? what happens when you put the usb charge current to zero, in device monitor? does it stop charging completely? then click the reset usb current box. what does escribe say (what's the graph look like) when you reset the current, with usb current box checked? can you take a screenshot of DM with usb voltage, current, pack v, cell 1 2 3 checked and post back?you have access to a windows pc?

TempeModder Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thank you for the quick response!It only blinks when plugged into escribe, and it's random. Seems that this may have been the cable I was using or something with the computer. I restarted and I am using a different cable and it is no longer blinking. Plugged into the wall adapter no blinking, but still only .1AChanging to 0 did stop charging completely, resetting brought it back to ~0.10 AI do not currently have access to a windows PCI also noticed that my room and board temperature readings don't appear to be accurate. See screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempeModder Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Also if it makes a difference I have a VT200 that shows all normal settings and charges properly with the same escribe set up on the mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TempeModder Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Solved! There was a piece of stray solder shorting out one of the tiny chips just above the balance connector. Working all good now!Thanks all for the help and sorry for wasting your time with my stupidity!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
