Smok Skyhook screen died

[puntadigital]

Hi there
Been several year since my last post, but still vaping after almost 10 years.
I bough a Skyhook from an eBay vendor, received it Uruguay where I live few days ago, I really like it, but screen started to flicker and act weird couple days ago, and now is dead. mod fires and everything, but nothing on the screen, which is a problem to adjust settings. Is there a way to reset the firmware and hope for it to come back to life or is gone for good? Any alternatives to adjust wattage at least without a screen? Thanks a lot !!!

Although you said flickering screen did you make sure it in not in stealth mode?

no, it's not in stealth mode, it was flickering, and kinda "missaligned" like the left edge was behind the right edge of the screen, so it was even hard to read due to the altered graphics. Gotta have to take it apart and see what happens.

Sorry I could not be of more help!

I would be careful. My Alien screen went a little goofy then died. The mod would fire fine. Then saw a flame up from behind the screen and then smoke came out of the usb. Luckily it did it in my hand and not in my pocket or while I was sleeping (the mod was on but I wasn't firing it when it flamed up.) Not saying it will, I would just be careful.

Did your Alien ever get dropped or have a bad e-Liquid spill?

Never had a ejuice leak/spill. I had dropped it a couple of times, table/desk height onto low carpet, nothing near the time the screen failure though.

I dropped a MOD with Stainless Tank on a Nautilus Min from maybe 2 feet off the carpet. Cracked the tank and I didn't realize it until a while later why I was getting liquid on my hand every time I filled it. Could have cracked the board when it wad dropped. Since it smoked and if out of warranty do an exploratory.

Still under warranty, getting mailed to Madvapes tomorrow, otherwise would have gotten into it.

Mine was never dropped, at least not after it was taken out of the box. I have no leaks at all, I was aware of the chances of it leaking and was ready to apply a fix, but no leaks. Dead screen but no leak lol.
Gonna empty it out and see if I can take it apart (and put it back together)
Thanks y'all
