Board Swap LV Paranormal DNA75C --> DNA250C?

[Tralfaz]

I'm thinking of swapping out the DNA75C board in my Lost Vape Paranormal with the new DNA250C board. Would there be any foreseeable issues with that? Would I need a new screen as well? I would appreciate any input or suggestions.

You might review the board dimensions, button placement and mounting screw holes, and etc....  Info contained in these 2 datasheets with pictures...

Hmm, not identical but fairly similar dimensions. LV are releasing a Paranormal with the new board, so with minor modifications I may be able to fit one in. If it's a no go, I could just build a new box for it.

You'd most likely have to rewire the battery cradle as well, since the Paranormal 75C is running in parallel, whereas the 250C will need the batteries in series.

Yeah, I noticed that in one of the reviews I watched the other day. Might be more trouble than i originally thought. I'll probably just wait to see what additional devices are released with the new chip and go from there.

E - On second thought, I do have a heavily weathered Therion I'm doing a refurb on. I'd be less worried about ruining that one. Maybe I'll pick up a new board and see where that takes me.
