Hey everyone first time actually posting in this forum. I apologize this is a little long.
Well anyway, I'm gonna get right down to it. My RX 2/3 worked just fine yesterday morning. I put it in my backpack and left for work on my motorcycle. Everything seemed fine until I realized my batteries were low. I use a soda charger externally but must have forgot. For whatever reason I plugged in and charged via USB. It didn't charge at all in the half hour I left it plugged in, so I removed it and that was that. Got home and slid a fresh set of married 18650s in her and the wattage on the display was just flying off the handle as if I was turning it up. It seems to think I'm holding the "+" button at all times. I'm unable to use the mod since it constantly just maxes out temp or wattage without me pressing a button. I've come to the conclusion it's related to the button itself due to the fact if I press hold the fire button it will do the task assigned to fire and "+" being pressed simultaneously. Same for the "-" button (will enter key lock mode)
I've installed 2 separate firmware updates thinking it was related to that USB charger. For some reason all I could think was my firmware got corrupted by some fluke when I plugged in the USB. No changes at all. I then tried another pair of married batteries no change. Finally at my wits end, I tore that sucker apartand checked everything internally. I'm by no means an expert, but I've dealt with plenty of fried electronics and have a general idea what to look for (burns, loose connections, corrosion) everything is prestine. I cleaned up a few dirty spots with alcohol and a q-tip and now I'm sitting here baffled.
Someone please tell me what the heck this is all about?
