Just My Theory.
When the Connection between the Atty and the
mod is Flakey but still a Connection, the
mod "sees" a Very High Resistance. But since the Resistance that the Mod can Calculate Watts to is Limited, because the Voltage of the Mod is Limited, the Mod sets the Resistance/Voltage to the Highest Value that is Possible.
Instead of the Mod throwing an Error Message saying that the Ohms are "Too High".
I could be Completely Wrong. And this Probably Doesn't apply to Every Mod out there. But that is what I Think my
ipv Mini was doing before I Re-Soldered it's 510 Connection Wire.
