Kaneman82 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Good morning everyone, Around 3 weeks ago I purchased a Mini-pro from Amazon and loved it. One morning I turned it on and it kept beeping, lights flashing, and would not connect to bluetooth. I researched, tried to reset it by turning it on inverted and I can not get it to stop beeping and flashing or connect. The unit will function, but it is stuck in beginner mode along with the beeping and flashing. So I initiated a return and ordered a new one. The new Segway worked for 4 days, then replicated the behavior, only this time there is no beeping. Its flashing and will not connect to BT. Any ideas, or should I just return this one as well and give up on the Mini-pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetricUSA Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I wouldn't wait too long on your amazon warranty! Oh man, I didn't see the video, dude...you have no juice in the battery, did you ever try charging it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevmar Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Are the batteries being charged? Does the green light come on the battery charger brick after they have been charged? In any case, the MiniPro being sold by Amazon is junk - model N3M260. I bought two, they threw me repeatedly because they did not have enough power. Look at my posts here for more background. Also note that the manufacturer-refurbished MiniPro from Frys Electronics right now at $399-ish are the full MiniPro N3M320 like Segway/Ninebot used to sell. Bigger battery, more power to keep you upright. All IMHO, of course :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can leave them on the charger indefinitely with no change, the red light never comes on the charging brick to indicate they're charging. In the video I took the Minipro pictured was on the charger overnight. This sucks man, it seems like these things are just junk. 2 out of three have failed, and I'm confident the third will as well.

The red light comes on to indicate a charge is being drawn from the charger. A green light comes after batteries are fully charged, and are no longer drawing a charge from the charger. There are some threads here discussing battery behavior, and how to measure them, and that Amazon has shipped units with very flat batteries before. But I bought two units from them around 2 months ago (the $499 '2018' ones) and both batteries were almost fully charged when I got them. It is really hard to do anything except measure them with a multimeter, as suggested in the archived threads which you can find in the KnowledgeBase here: https://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/10941-segway-ninebot-mini-mini-pro-mini-plus-knowlegebase-index/ I did suggest an alternative supplier with a better (IMO) product :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syber7 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 You have an error code, flashing headlights...flash 2 times...then...flash 4 times....error code 24. Needs replaced/fixed under warranty. https://fr.more4mini.eu/blogs/news/segway-minipro-error-codes-and-solutions. Error 24 Battery communication failed Replace the battery. If the problem remains then replace the Control Board. You can also try to use after market battery without Ninebot Communication add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetricUSA Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 If you plug the charger in and it's always green you blew the fuse in the battery or it was already blown before you bought it... Not exactly what I call refurbished... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmadariv Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi, I am facing this problem too.. My charger always green. Can you show me the location of battery fuse? I can't get it. There is no F (fuse code) letter on the battery mainboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
