Problem with Puresmoker Prodigy V1

[Derfman1963]

This one has me stumped. My prodigy stopped working and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. I tested it with a multimeter at every step of the circuit using a known good atomizer and it just won't work. On top of that the resistor has been heating up. Seems like a short but I can't find it.

Tested for voltage from case to center post with switch activated, ok
Tested for voltage with switch not activated, none, so thats ok
Tested for shorted adapter, no short between post and case
Tested for complete circuit (while atomizer is installed) between adapter and atomizer. Circuit OK
Tested switch for proper operation, open when not pressed, 3 ohms when pressed, not sure if thats proper resistance but it should still work

Am I missing something here? It should work. Getting 6.6 volts at the post when switched on. This is what it has normally ran.

I would just order a new switch, but they are out of stock.

Using a jury rigged cell charger to smoke atm, not as convienient but gets the job done.

Does your prodigy use a 510 atty? If so, I saw in another thread somewhere that the center post in the atty connecto can get pushed down to the point that it won't make contact with the atty. The center post should be sitting just a hair above the threaded part. If it's not, take the end of a pair of tweezers or something and gently pry it up to where you can just barely see it sticking above the threads.

I tested that with the multimeter, circuit is fine.
