Issue with eVic fire button

[OlDogNewTricks]

I didn't see a sub-forum for the eVic, so I am posting here. I have had my eVic for about a month and it has been working great. Yesterday, when I pressed the fire button, it clicked in and stayed in further than it has before. It used to stick out about 1/4 inch and it is now about 1/8 inch. It is not fireing when I am not pressing the button. Unfortunately, when I put it on to charge last night (it was at about 25% charged) and awoke this morning, it is only at about 34% charge after about 9 hours charging. I have written the vendor but am wondering if anyone has had a similar issue.

Thanks for your help.

Here is the eVic sub-forum. Try posting your question there, too. Nothing wrong with putting it both places in my opinion.

I had an eVic, I never had that issue because the heads kept falling off, so I got a ProVari. Good luck, my friend.

Thanks, posted there, wasn't looking in the right place. Got the device to start recharging again by taking the head off and letting it reset.

Sounds physically broken. Not a good thing for any device.

My fire button also got pushed in, almost all the way. Now it fires 10 seconds even when nothing is touching it, and is very touchy when I press it.
Does anyone know someone that repairs control heads or mods in general?
Or, how to take the top off?

No, and No.
Head is sealed and not designed to separate intentionally.
The switch is directly on a circuit board. You could try a good alcohol wipe and fiddle around it with a pin, but it sounds like it has been crushed.
