Darkabyss Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 (edited) Last night my Odin DNA 250 decided it was going to start throwing up check battery's. Upon hooking it up to EScribe this morning it seems the battery's even though fully charged (multiple sets tried) are averaging around 1-3 Volts each. I've included a screen shot. Any help would be highly appreciated. Edited June 26 by Darkabyss more information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 The cell voltages are being read from the balance tap. Check yours if you're able to. Check the condition of the solder joints as well as if any e-liquid is present. G,1, 2,3, and 4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkabyss Posted July 3 Author Report Share Posted July 3 thanks for the reply @dwcraig1 ive stripped it down and cant see any liquid on the area you pointed out, but upon looking the board is shiny? is this a coating on the board or baked on e-liquid?

There is a conformal coating on the board to help protect the components, but ejuice can deteriorate a connection at the solder joints/connectors.

dwcraig1 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 While I mentioned checking for liquid on the board I was more concerned with the solder joints. How do they look? Do you have a volt meter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkabyss Posted July 13 Author Report Share Posted July 13 Sorry for late reply, looking at the solder joints there clean, checked continuity across pins 2-3-4 no problems there, but the wire that runs from pin 4 to main positive(tiny sliver of red wire) no connection across that wire, could that be the problem?

Darkabyss Posted July 13 Author Report Share Posted July 13 I've marked the solder joints and wire I am referring to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 2, 3, 4 and B+ are bridged together. That is how I wired mine. Replace the wire going from 4 to B+ or solder bridge it and you should have it working again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
