Mod just stopped working

[ChefMagnum]

I finished my mod a week ago and have been running it since then. Just an hour ago i grab it off the side table and go to vapes and nothing. No screen lighting up, no heat, nothing.

I tried plugging it in to see if it was dead, nothing. 
I tried to run escribe and it is not being detected 
took the battery out tired plugging it in to the computer, same
tried reattaching the battery same.

I looked for a short, no burn marks or blown fuses
the battery is not swollen either

I was being run at .5 nickel build at 75watts 420 degrees

Just to try it, try going to Escribe and then manually forcing a firmware update with Tools... Update Firmware...

[ChefMagnum]

its not detecting the board at all.  I just tried your suggestion, it says not device detected. 

[John]

Would it be easy to trade out for another so I can look at that one here and see what is going on with it? If so, PM me your address. 

[ChefMagnum]

Pm sent thank you very much for the correspondence John.

well guess who also has the same problem black screen and no device attached in escribe..  

[malcbzt]

but it started working after forced update. tnx for help

Same symptoms for me. Also gets hot pretty quickly when plugged in. I'm using an Opus 200, most of the issues with these seem to be blown fuses. From what I can tell, that's not the case with my device.
Black screen, no Escribe.

Mine did the same thing last night.  Vape, Vape, nothing.  Nothing unusual and no fancy coil.  I'll try forcing a firmware update tonight.

Edit:  Tried forcing an update, just says no device connected.  What to do now?

[MarkM]

Same for me, everything died when I left it charging. Battery had been drained to point of weak battery message, which i don't normally get to before I recharge. Tried escribe but it's not seeing any device. Tried swapping out to fully charged battery but still the same. Pulled out the board but can't see anything to mention anywhere. At work now but will continue checking what I can later today.

I also had a fuse blow over the weekend, I am in the UK hence I ordered some fuses to replace myself.  Replaced fuse today and after about an hours vaping on a 0.1 TI dual coil build the device is now non-responsive (fuse intact).  No connection to Escribe and no firmware update available due to no connection.  I have established an RMA with my UK vendor.

The mod is 3d printed and the solder connections were solid and there are no shorts at all. The board did feel quite hot when it was connected to the PC after the "event".  Prior to the event there was a loss of power to the atty followed by a hot hit then the board gave up.

There are no obvious marks or damage on the board that I can see.  Hope this helps solve the issue.

I took the board out and managed to get escribe to read it,

Its still not working as voltage drops to zero when a battery is connected, so I assume something is shorting out.

but I have damaged the screen ribbon clip in the process of removing the board.

I think this ones dead.....

Mine did the same thing, except I can get it to connect to escribe. 

At first I thought I snapped a wire however connected another ni200 tank which ive also been vaping on and just kept getting check atomiser
