Dadam Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hello everyone, I just received my MCM5 from Aliexpress today. I turned it on and : I hear the fan I see the LEDs blinking I hear some bips (sometimes one long continuous bip and sometimes 5-6 bips and then no more) but the wheel wont auto balance I tried calibrating with the Begode app but no luck. I also check the battery on the app and it says 100% charged. Of course I sent a message to the seller. But any ideas from some MCM5 owners ? Or anyone. My first idea would be that the motherboard has broken during the trip but I'm not sure ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Must be the travel transport lock, there is a key combination to unlock it. (search those terms and you should find it) Edited June 29, 2021 by null Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(search those terms and you should find it) That thread you're referring to is stickied at the top of this subforum Im sure a lot of people's hearts sink when their new $1k+ wheel wont work right out of the box, but rest assured this function is to prevent the wheel turning on by mistake and causing havoc during shipping. All normal behavior. Edited June 29, 2021 by Denny Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All normal behavior. Good there is a sticky, arrantly not visible enough.. Gotway Begode should put a label with instructions on the power button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders73 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Hi I have the same problem with a brand new wheel which seems to turn on but will not balance. I can't find any information or sticker on the wheel with a code or anything, or any setting in the app which refers to a travel lock. Ideas gratefully received ! Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 You either unlock the wheel by plugging in the charger, or by this method (as posted above). Not sure which it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
