I'm on the 2nd latest software and hit a bit of problem.

Plugged device in and kept getting USB not recognized. Tried all online methods to remedy it and to no Avail.

Both windows 10 laptops couldn't update it.

Tried it on my windows 7 desktop and I got a corrupted file for SXIQ.

What a bummer.

I've tried virtually every USB fixing method that's online and I can't seem to get it to work.

Have you tried running SXi-Q DriverStartup from Windows start menu?

I like my chepo Chinese ones better because the botuns are covered up.
Offers better protection but I very nearly cut holes in mine as I missed the feel of the button not covered in rubber, I absolutely love the ML fire button, so nice to use.

I do however much prefer the ML Class logo on my third party sleeve, I think it looks classier cut out like that than the big printed SX mini on the genuine. Also it already has a massive sx mini logo engraved on the mod which is visible, so not really sure why they felt the need to add it again!

Sweet Vapes is only getting black too. Seems odd the UK gets all the colors and the US just get black. :confused:
Must be a holdover from Henry Ford. You can get any color you want as long as it's black :lol:

I see the chip is available now also. Thought I'd check and see what Perry would charge me to put one in one of my new Silver on Silver M's. Probably would be better just to buy an ML for the heck of it.

Read there's about .5mm difference in screen height, which could make it difficult to just drop in the M enclosure without having either a gap or needing to use spacers.

Perry also said:
For the firmware there;s always a difference between mod and modders chip. Boot Logo mainly. And the software recognizes Mod vs chip and stops you

I'm unclear what you have / don't have etc..

You have SXmini ML? And if so do you have "Link On" before you attach to your PC?
Your trying to install the SXI-Q software for the Logo Changer and update to firmware 2.202?

I linked some update docs earlier in the thread, think one of them was for Windows 10. Page or two back, but I recall someone saying there was a problem with some version still. You might look through them.

Have you tried running SXi-Q DriverStartup from Windows start menu?

Sorry if i wasn't being a little clearer.

I updated my SX MINI ML before the 10th of January Logo changer patch wad released.

Everything was working as planned.

However, it was after the update that I noticed that the battery no longer shows the lightning symbol when the mod is plugged in to a wall charger.

Only the C1, C2 section on the lower left hand side of the screen will show a small plugged in symbol.

Anyway, that's besides the point since i don't charge my mod through the USB and it was only an accidental discovery.

So anyway, I came back home from a Vacation and decided to updatemy ML class only to get the USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED error pop up.

It's the usual CODE 43 error and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my USB drivers, changed 6 different types of cables, plugged it in on Windows 7, 8 and 10 and none of the online remedies seemed to work.

I also did the famous battery removal technique and none of them worked.

Windows just doesn't recognize the ML class. It's not even the SXI-Q that's going wonky this time.

I legitely believe that a certain component on the SX350J-V2 board might have fried. Beats me as I've never dropped the mod and have been using my M class more than my ML.

Sorry to interrupt smokyribs I hope you get it figured out, Yihi are quite quick to respond on facebook, maybe they have come across it before? sounds mighty frustrating!

I'm totally new to temp control, can someone please tell me what to set my ml class to when using a stock 0.5 ohm uwell crown coil? any help would be much appreciated.

Alright I have a better understanding now. So you've successfully updated previously but have since been pulling your hair out on the second update. Have you attempted what Hyperspace and I suggested previously? Installing the SXI-Q driver from the start menu and verifying that "Link On" is enabled in the menu system?

I can reproduce the "USB Device Not Recognized" if I have Link Off. I've also noticed the ML device doesn't connect quite the same as the M class, Battery out and I can't connect to the ML where with the M I can. So the only way I've been able to connect is by having Link On and then connecting to the pc. I don't have any other suggestions that I can think of other than send cservice@yihisxmini.com a note. Other than that sometimes it's better to just start completely from scratch and verifying everything is setup correctly from the start.

I'm guessing you either have a problem with your drivers or the device is set to Link Off but you could have a malfunctioning device and if so cservice@yihisxmini.com should be able to work through identifying which.

Edit: In regards to the lightning bolt while charging. I noticed that as well and asked others in the forum and it was never present even with factory firmware. So don't be thinking that's a problem as it's normal.

Haven't used the stock coils on the Crown in quite a long time but I think I was using them as if SS304 with a TCR of .00105 at around 45W for the .5Ω. You could probably set the ML to the Coil Type of SS304 and if you don't like that input a manual TCR .00105 at about 35W and adjust to taste.

Copying my post over from the Q-class thread......
Yihi just posted on facebook that the new SXPure wire setting relates to a new Yihi atomizer, yeah yeah old news I know but....

"Yes, we will release our own Atomizer. Revolutionary atomizer. No Coil,support Temperature control and variable voltage, one coil can use at least 3 months"

Sounds like they are doing their own version of the Altus, could be good, very good indeed!
