Well now, if yer smok RPM 5 ain’t turnin’ on unless you plug it in, don’t go gettin’ all worked up just yet, ’cause there’s a few things you can try and it might be simpler than you think. First things first, you gotta make sure your battery’s got a good charge on it. A lotta times, folks will think it’s all fine but the battery’s dead as a doornail, especially if it’s been sittin’ around for a while. You wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve heard people say, “It worked just fine yesterday!” but forgot to top up the charge.
Now, if your battery’s full and it’s still not workin’ properly, let’s look at a couple o’ other things. One big reason why it won’t turn on unless it’s plugged into the charger is that the battery might be loose or not sittin’ right. Make sure the battery’s installed proper, with the positive side up—yeah, it’s easy to forget which way it goes, but trust me, that can make all the difference. If the door don’t close right, well, it could cause all sorts of problems. Just check that it’s all snug.
Next thing you might wanna try is checkin’ the connections. Now, I ain’t sayin’ you gotta be an electrician, but sometimes the little connection between the tank and the atomizer might get dirty or not connect properly. Give ‘em a good clean and see if that helps. Make sure that everything’s screw-tight but not over-tightened either, ’cause that can be just as bad.
If it still won’t turn on, it might be a little more complicated, but don’t panic. One reason it might be havin’ a hard time turnin’ on is because of something called stealth mode. Now, I don’t know about you, but that sounds like somethin’ outta a spy movie, right? Well, turns out, stealth mode on your mod means the screen’s turned off so it ain’t gonna light up when you press the buttons. To fix that, you’ll need to get into the settings and turn off stealth mode. If you can’t find the setting, you might wanna check the manual or look it up online.
Another thing that could be messin’ with it is the firmware. Sometimes, after lots of use or if you’ve been havin’ some odd shutdowns, the firmware can get all wonky. That means it ain’t gonna work right no matter how many buttons you press. If that’s the case, the best thing to do is to try and update the firmware. That can be a little tricky, but there’s plenty of guides on how to do it if you search around a bit. Keep in mind, though, if the firmware’s damaged too much, you might have to take it in for repair or just replace the whole thing.
But don’t give up just yet, there’s more to look at! If the screen ain’t comin’ on at all, check if the buttons are stuck or if the mod’s been dropped or banged up. Sometimes a little impact can knock things outta whack, and you won’t even know it. Give it a good once-over and see if anything looks outta place.
Also, sometimes these mods can have trouble if they’re not gettin’ a good power supply. Try usin’ a different charger or plug it into a different outlet. Oddly enough, some chargers just don’t play nice with certain mods. I’ve heard folks say that even using a cheap cable might not work right, so you might need a good quality charger. It might sound silly, but I’ve seen it fix problems more times than I can count.
Lastly, there’s the puff counter issue. If your SMOK RPM 5 won’t turn on unless it’s plugged in, it could be related to the puff counter. Some models, like the SMOK Nord and Morph, let you reset that by holdin’ down the fire button and the down button at the same time. You might wanna give that a try if all else fails.
Well, that’s about all I can tell you. If it still don’t work after tryin’ all these things, I’d say it’s time to get in touch with the manufacturer or visit a repair shop. But in most cases, it’s somethin’ simple like the battery, the settings, or the connections. Don’t go throwin’ it out just yet, it might just need a little fiddlin’ with!
