high all
hope I'm in the right place , I'm new here and looking for help/advice
my crafty has stopped working and my volcano is no good as a portable .
so it was 2 years old (a warranty replacement for the old one that died at 250 odd hours) 338hrs use and couldn't do a heat up without being plugged in and even then it took forever so I replaced the battery with a sony vtc6 and it worked awesomely for about an hour on boost when the lights started flashing red/yellow so I changed the thermal fuse and charged it up , it was again on top form and working on boost for about an hours use when the battery died , now when I plug it in to charge it vibrates the lights flash green,red,blue and then there's no charge light . the phone still connects with the app via Bluetooth but only shows one bar on the battery scale. ive taken the battery out it was at 3.0 volts and charged it in a wall charger to 4.20v then put it back in but it still shows only one bar of power and the app says the battery is low and to charge it. Ive even gone to the effort of trying another new battery (30Q) incase the vtc6 had some kind of issue but its still the same
has anyone any idea what to do ? I'm guessing its a pcb issue but am lost at this point . I'm thinking about sending it to a pcb repair place to see if they can fix it ? ? ?
thanks in advance
