DNA 200 not firing.

[Astewie26]

hello, I am new to the dna 200 chip. I have everything wired correctly as far as i know, I am using an otto p9 pushbutton in place of the on board fire button. I clipped the onboard one off to make sure I wasnt going to accidentally fire it. The board is not mounted to the case. Just using the 1 ground pad to make contact to the 510. all the other gnd lugs are left alone, I wired it up. glued some small plastic washers to the board with a small amount of super glue in place of mounting the board directly to the case. go to press the button and it wont turn on. I plug it into a usb charger. It turns right on as normal. the up down switches work fine, however the fire button wont fire. and it doesnt read any errors or anything. could I have messed the board up clipping the onboard switch off. or is there anything I may be missing? ps. battery fuse is still intact. just don't understand why its not firing 

any help would be appreciated. thanks

You could have damaged the board "clipping" the fire button off it forms part of the circuit and Evolv have advised to just unclip the top if you want to disable it.  You maybe able to put jumper wires across the pads if you have not damaged them and get it working perfectly.

ok so I jumped the pads. pressed the button and it starts up. the wattage drops down like the down button is being help down. comes up with a us patent code on the screen
