5s Lipo help!

Alright, it seems that you are sure that the volt readings are true. Maybe I can state the chances of this happening (by chance) another way.

Of all the possible volt readings between 3 and 4.2 you have found 3 in a row at 4.2 and then 2 in a row at 3.8

There's no chance to get this "full house" pack by chance. I'm saying that something had top happen to it and I would find out what.

I know this is a silly analogy , but hope it works.

ooh, I see this is a brand new pack. My mistake , the chances just went sky high.

Maybe it really is ok just to "fix" it by charging cell 4 and 5 to 4.2 volts and it may be good to go.
