So this happened :(

[Marzuq]

The weirdest thing ever!
Ipv4 was standing on my desk. No atty attached. Batteries were loaded. Half full.
For about 2 days it just stood there unused. And everytime I walked passed I smelled this burnt plastic smell. Just assumed it was the heat coming off the TV until I picked it up to put and atty on and saw what the poor mod looked like.
It burnt out while not in use. With no atty attached and was turned off...

 

[Alex]

That's a crispy looking mod, condolences.

 

[johan]

Sorry to see this @Marzuq - I hate that smell.

Thanks, she used to be my favorite mod.

I really am sorry on your part. I'm glad to hear no one was hurt. this is the kind of issues i dread with Mods and has just made me so much less keen on my order for an IPV 3 Li.

these issues are very few and personally i would get me the same device again when i have the funds for it. I cannot see what may have caused this silent explosion and there certainly was no early indications that it was going to happen. But i am not put off by it. And you shouldnt be either.

Thanks for the securing comment. its good to see faith in the product. i just hope that this doesn't happen to me or to you again for that matter.

Very sorry to hear about this bro it must suck big time!

 

[Lim]

Sorry about that man

from the look it seems to be not the battery, seems the wire was shorting out. did the mod fell on the ground before?

 

[Silver]

Sorry @Marzuq
Glad you ok

 

[Andre]

Ouch, that is a bad loss for you @Marzuq - sorry. Contra the gospel of regulated is safer.

 

[MJ INC]

Wow that looks very serious. I'm sorry about that but atleast it didn't cause any more damage that the actual mod

 

[GadgetFreak]

I am sorry man! This is the last thing I would expect from a mod that does not have a atomiser screwed on.
Could have been far worse, so just be thankful. If its under warranty I am pretty sure you can get a replacement?

 

[BumbleBee]

Shame @Marzuq , that really sucks but it could have been much worse, I'm just glad it wasn't

 

[shaunnadan]

a moment of silence for the fallen mod. taken away... in his youth. gone but never forgotten

Hi @Lim she never fell. Toppled over while standing on the desk once but that was while resting on a cloth.

 

[Mike]

What's the likelihood of this being sorted out by the vendor or P4Y?

Sorry to see dude. Really crappy

It's a battery drain problem IMO.
Somehow it is draining the batteries while it is off.

Unfortunately it will not be replaced as after discussing it with one of the vendors it was said that p4y will not replace it as the power board was removed.

Hectic!!

Glad you okay bro!

Super unlucky bro.
Removing the board was supposed to somewhat fix or prevent these things from happening.
Condolences bro, keep strong and get the IPV3 Li
Seems to be abit more stable than the 4S

 

[wazarmoto]

damn!!! that sucks. Did you perhaps have it on lock mode? After looking at that autofire issue video maybe that was the problem?
