winterwheel Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Just thought I'd share this in case someone might be dealing with same issue in the future. We had a wheel (KS-16S) get very severely wet, ridden and left outside in the rain and the wheel stopped working; wouldn't turn off or on, just an odd combination of blinking lights. The wheel was opened up and left to dry. Now it seems to be working fine again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyTop Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) I would look at the boards very closely. For the most part water does not hurt electronics ....... It is the impurities left behind in the water: conductive and corrosive. I would look for trace paths and crud of any kind on the board. clean with board cleaner. ...................Temperature shock can cause damage also.
