So I wired up my chip and finally was ready to insert the battery. When I do, it goes through some routine and is flashing "check atomizer" and "battery weak" and the stops and seems ok. When I push the fire button nothing happens? I then remove the battery and screw on my kayfun and the same thing happens but I realize that during this start up routine, it is actually firing then stops and the fire button does not work? I replace the fire button and still nothing? The up and down buttons work fine? What do I do? I have checked the wiring at the board and it seems fine?

Any and all help appreciated.

Thanks

Here is a picture of the wiring.
I have since disconnected the fire button wires (blue) and the same condition exist? Can't think of a chip problem that would cause this. I sent an email to Evolv Helpdesk. Hope I get a quick answer. Anyone familiar with the warranty? Should I assume it's my problem? This is the first issue I have had with an Evolv dna chip so I have not delt with their warranty dept.

Thanks!

I assume when you push the fire button, something should display on the screen so if nothing happens then I guess something's wrong with the fire button.

The on board firing button could be causing an issue. Snip it off and see if the problem persists.

Careful, i believe on that on the 40's(unlike the 30s) if you completely remove the fire button you have to solder a jumper in to maintain part of the circuit.
