Steamcrave squonker not firing.

[Raslin]

My trusty steamcrave just stopped firing. The mod switches on and all operates normally, except it does not fire.

I have tried other atties, cleaned the 510 but nothing. The button works when switching on.

What else can I try?

sounds like one of the wires came loose on the 510. I might be wrong

Nope took it apart to clean, and it measures the atties resistance perfectly. So not a loose wire.

Not at all. Any other ideas

Probably broke because you call it a "squaker"?

Sorry about that did not check before posting

If it reads attys but wont fire them it might be the main ic, if a reflash of the firmware wont help or is not possible, your only option is to try reflowing the main pcb like they do with the xbox when it gives the "ring of death".
Sometimes there is an onboard hardware battery to retain settings, cutting that power might help to reset everything.
Failing that, you can pull out the electronics and install your own mosfet circuit.

Bake the board in your oven then throw the oven out because of the toxic fumes
