    When I try to switch on my vamo there's a short delay and then the screen flashes but no text appears. Stopped working overnight and definitely didn't drop it or anything. Anyone know what the problem might be or what I could try to fix it? terrible timing as both twist batteries also came apart

    Happens with or without device connected?

    This happens with mine when the battery goes dead. Maybe your battery is done in? try another just in case maybe.

    It does the same whether a device is connected or not. It does a kind of half flash when I press the button 5 times, then flashes 3 times after that. I also noticed that when the battery is put in it flashes 3 times instead of once

    Sounds like a short/loose connection in there

    I managed to get it to turn on but it looks like there's a loose connection with the battery or something as the remaining battery reading keeps changing and it says low voltage when I try to fire it even though the resistance is above 1 (I tested a couple of devices).

    Is there there a way to take it apart and clean the connectors or something or should I just contact the vendor? I wiped the battery connectors but they looked clean already, I'm guessing it's something inside.

    It can be taken apart using a cloth and a pipe wrench. Wrap the cloth around it at a joint and tighten the pipe wrench around the cloth and gentle start to wiggle it till it comes apart, just be careful when you take off the top cap because of the wires.
    Think there is a 30 day guarantee on them.
    Utube "vamo first impression" and its the first on the list.
