Wismec Gen 3 help

[Rightgreasy]

Hello all I'm new here but I need some help my wismec Gen 3 will not power up. I have been noticing that lately I have to close the battery door a couple times to get it to come on. Just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem, or is it something I can fix myself.

Most battery contacts are soldered to the circuit board. Dropping heavy batteries in your mod will wear them out and eventually snap. If smacking your mod will turn it on or off that's probably what's happening. I had 2 mods do this so now I slide my batts in easy from the side and dont drop them. Might not be the problem but they might be snapped in half and only making contact when they feel like it.

Mine did this (I don't just drop the batteries in though) and I had to clean up the contact on the battery door. The one that makes the connection with the spring loaded pin in the bottom of the mod and the door.

Check the batteries are all charged. Check all the contacts for damage or corrosion.

Ok will do everything thing looks new inside I wonder if juice got inside

Clean the battery contacts with a pencil eraser or similar, blow out residue, then use a q tip & rubbing alcohol to rub them with to finish the job.

On the batt door itself you'll see 2 oblong flat contacts near the door hinge these need to make solid contact with the 2 small pins in the body. Occasionally this contact area gets dirty, worn or pins slightly depressed, clean these also, you might try gently prying/pulling the 2 pins upward.

Without batteries inside, does the door shut firmly without much movement / play.

How old are your batteries?
