Triade DNA250C Screen Not Dislaying After 1 Year of Being Packed Away

[ELiTE]

Hi all. I have a LV Triade DNA250C which I barely used. The last time I used it was probably a year ago and it worked fine. Since then, I packed it away in its box and left it. Today when I tried to use the mod, the screen stayed off and the mod also won't fire.

I connected it to escribe and escribe detects the mod and shows all the settings which I had. If i fiddle with the wattage buttons I can see it changing in describe

 

What can I try to get this mod to boot up? Or is this mod useless now?

Your battery cells are so low that they can not be safely charged. Looks to be 18650s so an easy fix. Replace them.

Probably why the screen doesn't work as well. Charging is suspended if a cell is under 2,5 volts.

Thanks, that worked now the mod is back in action after years I can see the screen starting to get lighter so I assume its almost EOL soon so I'm gonna try make the best of it now.

Even that's replaceable for like $12 USD

Wow, that is fantastic news! I didn't even know that was a thing. I'll probably do that

Screens that go bad usually develop a small white blob in the middle that grows to be a thumbprint size over time. In all my only 1 has ever done that.
