Possibly something under the 510 got twisted. Let the Vendor worry about it.
One out of warranty, should I have problems, I will crack it open without a second thought.

Remove the battery and check between the center pin and the outer ring of the 510 for a short. If the 510 spun in the enclosure it could have shorted the ground to the center pin lead. Mine reads less than 0.5 ohm. Remove the battery before checking it..
I was thinking of making one or two myself, but I lack proper materials (box leather, mainly) for the time being.
Mine would also have a belt clip and some other metallic insertions. Maybe also a side pocket for the atty. We'll see.
Cheers!

Thank you! Not bad, but not leather, not unique, not ”made by me”. I'm a hands-on guy and I suspect most of us are. Granted, there are also many who can't be bothered to even wrap a coil.
More on-topic: the silver one gives me the ”Battery Full” message, the dark one doesn't. Definitely a different chip or firmware (0008 series - black; 0011 - silver). But Blacky also passed the 30 W/15 s test, so it's not really an issue.

Everything I have that breaks gets Hands on.......
.........Recently I can barely afford to PAY attention. Yes, Firmware update for newer units. P4Y posted on this about a week ago. Still the SX130 chip.
I have had 2 leather MVP wraps from SillyNilly for over a year. They both still look like new. Very well made. Keeps your hand from freezing in the cold as well.
Would it be possible for us to obtain and flash the new firmware? I reckon it might be doable via USB.
(I'm aware of Cloupor's T5 firmware big-time screw-up)

The check I'm talking about is made externally. One ohm meter lead to the center pin of the 510, the other lead to the threaded outer ring.
Member speed4mee posted a photo that shows the Mini's guts including the 510 fairly well. The ground looks to be soldered to the outer ring of the 510- which is normally a good thing. But if an atty were to be over tightened (or if the 510 was loose to start with) the 510 assembly could spin in the case and if that happens, a short could easily happen.

I'm guessing the "Battery Full" message is seen when charging through the USB?Thank you! Not bad, but not leather, not unique, not ”made by me”. I'm a hands-on guy and I suspect most of us are. Granted, there are also many who can't be bothered to even wrap a coil.
