dna30 reset issue after too hot message

[happyface]

So there I was, just building away, last night. I built a .4-.5ish load in an atomizer and tossed it on my dna30 device. After deciding I wanted to rebuild it, I fired it to clean the juice off the cotton so as to make for an easy clean up. I held the fire button for a bit to do this. After doing this a second time, it stopped firing and showed a 'too hot' message on the display.

I left it to cool down a bit, then tossed another .5 build on it. It immediately just reset when I tried to fire, so I decided that the battery must be dead enough and needed to be recharged. Fast forward to this morning and I tossed the same build on the fully charged device. I tried to fire and it reset. I lowered it to 7W and it reset. I put a 1.6o tank on and it reset.

Now, anything I put on the device will reset it. If i leave it by itself, with no atomizer, it will just say check atomizer when i try to fire (as it should).

Any ideas on why it will not fire? I assume it's because something got too hot and now it's broken, but just wondering if there's something else i can try.

has it ever worked before? might be a bad chip? Don't know

Yep, sorry. It worked for about 2 weeks prior to this. I've only had it since about the beginning of the month. It's a freshly built NES dna30 mod from Littup. Waiting on an email back from those guys, too, but they are swamped and generally take a couple days to get back to me.

checked all connections?

did not take it apart, because i didn't want to mess with it in case it has to be fixed under warranty. depending on what littup says, that might end up being what i have to do. however, the atomizer connection looks fine from the outside. /noobsaus

Too hot is a very rare message on DNAs. That coupled with the resetting suggests connection issues to me.

roger. guess i'll wait til i hear from littup customs.

Very well could be a connection issue due to the heat loosening up a solder joint.

In general I don't think those mods come with a very big battery, and might be a possible source for the issue.

just wanted to post up again about this to let folks know what the temp fix has been.

thinking that when it got too hot, it loosened up the firing pin in the insulator. i was able to pull the pin up a bit, but the insulator seems to be a bit less snug around the pin. however, pulling the pin up has gotten it working again.
