First of all, it sounds like your button is sticking. Second, if it's a large screen, it may be a loose connection? I don't know about the screen.
Nah the button wasnt sticking it isnt working at all. The board only comes on with the on board chip button.. I think I found the reason why the mod was auto firing, when i had all the guts stuffed into the shell, the Wattage control wires were pressed up against the on board button. Thats what i think.. I since rearranged the wires. And i even took out the clicky button and replaced it with the silent one, still not firing and or turning on....
Such a bummer

I had screen problems caused by the up/down button wires pressing on the screen cable. I ended up using very very thin wire from a dead usb cable. They contain about 8 strands of spider silk thin wire. They didn't push on the screen at all and everything worked fine. The thicker sturdy 22 gauge wire caused problems. There is no stress on these wires once you close up the case so anything is strong enough.
You haven't gotten screwed by cerakote yet then, a lot of those pics are not the colors they are labeled as, you gotta be careful when you pic a color, I've got a couple that are totally different.
Mine is large screen. Those thin wires were easy to stick in since they are as flexible as dental floss.
Im going to rip apart a usb cable today. Hopefully they all have those silk wires. And as for the close up board pics, im going to do those now but not sure how good they'll be, only have my smart phone at the moment...

Quick Question about finish. I've been using Krylon Satin 3123 (? on #), and it's been really good. They didn't have it at the store so I got Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic/Satin Cover Maxx [HASHTAG]#9163[/HASHTAG]. Anyone try it? I sure hope it applies well to 3D plastic!!
Weak Battery signal trouble shooting; any thoughts? I was thinking there was a conversation about it on this thread, but I can't seem to find it.
me too, but I can't figure out how to search the thread 
I emailed evolv, I think there's something wrong with the board because I can't find a problem anywhere. There's only a few things it could be; and jacked up boards coming from evolv are not uncommon, quite frankly.

With my large screen dna 40 I get the weak battery at 3.4 to 3.5 volts. On my small I get it at 3.7 to 3.8. I did use thicker wire (18) on the large screen so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it
No, no battery sag, these are fairly new vtc4's and a purple efest, which I use with my other 4 dna 40's with no problem, plus I tried several atty's which I use on my other mods. I pretty much trouble shot (is that usable vernacular??) the whole thing out, and short of desoldering what I truly feel are well soldered contacts and starting over; this sucker is bad, as in got a problem. I never had this happen before, but after working with it a while it started locking up, which I see as another symptom of a problem board.
I was getting weak battery with certain batteries at high wattage. Turned out to be sag. But can be also not your solder but the negative and positive connections with the battery at high amps. Make sure you have firm contact.
Yeah, I went back and tried again, with the inside taken out of the shell, making sure all contacts are true, and with a newer vtcv5 at 15 watts, various atty/coils, and still weak battery or locking up. I don't know, I guess I'll wait and see what evolv has to say tomorrow. Thanks for the tips!
