Smok zmax help please

[Ink Stained]

Okay, traded someone for what I think is a V1 smok Z.
It reads through all the menus including reading the battery level no problem. When I try to get it to fire I get LoA, assuming low amp, changed the battery several times with the same results Figure maybe someone around here may know what it is? I don't see anything that looks like water damage or anything. I really don't think that something is wrong with it, just cant figure it out when I put it beside another one and go through the same cycles. HELP PLEASE

Okay even though I figured out I was reading it wrong, it is LoA, it does it with or without an atty attached, any fixes guys? I know you are out there just waiting to help a brother out LOL.

I am having a similar problem. I can get mine to fire if I leave the atty on loose. I believe the problem is the center positive post on the zmax. I can move the post around and it will work fine for a day or so and then start throwing code again. Anyone know how to replace sleeve in between positive post and negitive cap?
