Sx 350j stuck in temp mode

[Streetrat]

OK I know I'm probably just over looking something simple. I've got a Renegade X box from Varitube. Tonight after I switched the batteries it reverted to temp mode (I normally use wattage mode) and I can't get it back into wattage mode. I've gone to the menu and where it says "joules" it won't let me use the +/- buttons to switch to "power". I've confirmed both buttons are functioning on other options.... Any suggestions???

I don't use temp mode, all I know is from what I read, and I have never heard of your mod. But, since you haven't gotten any answers, I'll try to help.

Have you tried taking the batteries out again and putting them back in again? Have you tried a high ohm kanthal coil? Most mods I've read about have a low and high limit on what ohm temp control will work with, and will kick it out of temp control.

Yeah tried both... My coil is .6 so it shouldn't be knocking it into temp mode... I've been using the same build for a few weeks and the mod for about two months... This just happened out of the blue when I swapped batteries last night (I have used the batteries in it before) . it's the sx350j chip... Gonna try flashing the firmware again and hopefully that helps

I'm saying that if you put a higher ohm kanthal coil -above 1 ohm maybe- that there's a possibility it might kick it out of temp control and back into wattage mode. It has happened on other mods, might work on yours.

Hope the flash works.

Tried it... Went 1.2.. Don't think it works that way on the sx350j chip

BUMMER

I'll see if I can scrounge up some better help.

Did this work?

 

[Streetrat]

Nah... Can't seem to get it to install the driver for it... Apparently it's a common problem with the driver... I've had 3 different things stop working today (only one was an ecig) so I'm not touching any electronics until tomorrow

Did you try doing it with the atomizer off of the mod?

 

[2legsshrt]

I know I'm late getting in here and all I have is SX's but I know when I happen to change from Joule to Power I always do it with the atomizer off. Don't know if that will help. I have never heard of this problem I don't use the Power mode much but I do on a couple of mine and never had that problem.

 

[Streetrat]

Yeah tried it with the atomizer off as well... Same deal... I can get to the selector in the menu... But it won't let me switch it from "joules" to "power "

That's really strange. I had to check to see what version I am using in my M's and it's V2.32 which I don't even see available now. I am kind of curious about some of the upgrades they have available one that says 200W I guess thats with the tube. Were you able to get hold of varitube. Perry usually is pretty knowledgeable about those things. It works ok in Joules mode though right?

Do You have the 350J or 350J v2

 

[2legsshrt]

You got me then I'm sure you've tried turning the system off and back on. I have never had any problem like that although I very rarely go to Power mode. I use mainly Ti. I had to go look at the Renegade and I see it has the 350J which is what I have in all my M's. Never really seen that. You might try this thread SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)
I didn't even know they had new FW upgrades out for the M and the ML. I figured they would finally come out with one for the M to use their SX pure atty that IDK if it will ever come out and I'm not really interested in. I have it on my ML but I'm happy the way mine are all working so no hurry.

 

[Streetrat]

Yeah I've tried pretty much every thing... I'm hoping I can get the PC to recognize it (common problem apparently) so I can reflash the firmware and hopefully get it back to normal

I did look and here is the latest FW upgrade for your chip not the SXmini but your chip Download - YiHi-SX350J-English-V2.36-support-all-SX-Pure-20160406

 

[Streetrat]

Yeah I can't even get that far cause the PC doesn't recognize my chip even using the yihi program

I found that the software tends to like USB-2 ports better than USB-3 ports.

If you have the motion sensor turned on you might be able to TILT the device to change the value. Just an idea.

 

[Streetrat]

Yeah tried the tilt.. Still no luck.. After a lot of reading this has happened to a few of the v1 chips.. I'm gonna keep trying to get the PC to recognize it so I can reflash it

Are you running win10 by any chance?
