how to diagnose and repair broken hoverboard

This how-to generally works with most self balancing electric scooter smart wheel / hoverboard / mini segway

many issues arose due to some cables went loose or got  disconnected inside the control unit of the hoverboard

so what caused that? Vibration from riding or shabby workmanship from the factory that assembled hoverboard in a hurry and didn’t do extensive testing / QC.

usually it’s an easy DIY fix, which can save you a lot of headache and hassle trying to get a replacement.

B1

the scooter has 3 circuit boards, one big main board and 2 co-board.

7 times at once: battery side co-board problem. try to replace the co-board.

8 times at once: power button side co-board problem. try to replace the co-board.

  22. I want to use the wheel from a H-board for my own design. I just want to use direct DC power to the 3 cables. How can I get it to run
    by “fooling” the control cable?
    Thank you.
