So, I had a dna 12 bottom feeder I made a while back, worked great for a while. Due to a design flaw on my part, the drip cup leaked back into the potentiometer, and it got a little eliquid in it. It continued to fire, but at max output. I took it apart, saw what was going on, replaced the potentiometer. Nothing changed. No error light, still firing, but on max. Checked everything, no liquid elsewhere. Checked all my solder points, re-soldered them just in case. No change. Checked to verify that there was no break in a wire, nothing. Did I cause some kind of short on the chip? Bleah, I do not want to buy another, this would be the second dna12 that I have destroyed..
DNA 12 question - might have broken it, not sure..

When you replaced the pot, did you have to unsolder it from the DNA or did you use wires going from the DNA to the pot? You might have damaged one of the solder points on the DNA board is why I am asking.
wires, although damage to the solder point isn't out of the question. They have all been re-soldered.
I think I ended screwing my first DNA board because I had to change my box a couple time and I am sure those ports on the board are not very good anymore.
I'd guess you burned the circuit somewhere with the re-soldering. I have a DNA bottomfeeder, too. I made sure to put all the circuit components (pot, switc,h, usb)on the opposite side of the box from the juice system. I feared something like this could happen. Luckily, on the rare occaision I've over-squeezed, it's gone down the side of the box.
