Begodecrashtestdummy Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know where on the motherboard to look for fuses or whatnot that control the the low voltage components?

Tawpie Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) If all else fails, sales@ewheels.com will help you out! (it's probably your 5V power supply, but it might be your 12V supply… one or the other or both are not healthy) Edited July 12, 2022 by Tawpie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robse Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Link to picture of board with connector explanations . My 5 cents; If there's no power at the light, display and logo output, then the low voltage supply of the board is fried = new board - not a DIY soldering fix issue ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I’ve never ridden in rain or wet conditions I’ve only had my wheel since beginning of may .super bummed .it still turns on balances ,rides and connects to Bluetooth as of now but I’m afraid to ride it not knowing what is wrong with it .plus I’ve got it sitting in my garage in case it decides to go nuclear.

Begodecrashtestdummy Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 I explained it to ewheels and they said : With the loss of lights, fan, speaker (?), this is a characteristic DC converter failure. Could you send over a short video clip of the problem for defect logging purposes? We'll locate one of those to express out to you this afternoon. Thanks again, Jason 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begodecrashtestdummy Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 I just went ahead and did a complete shell swap today .it was a pain in my ass .wouldn’t have been so bad but the new shells didn’t have the machine screw receivers in the posts they just had a small pilot hole ..so I couldn’t put my covers on when I thought I was done …lol …so I had to press pull them all out of the old shells then drill the receiver posts and hammer in the machine screw receivers into the new shell .10 hours later it’s done it’s charging again ,headlights work, it balances and rides and speakers work Bluetooth is connecting to music but not app .I also had my dad resolder the entire power,charge port and usb board cuz the entire thing looked like a 5 year old soldered it .damn Chinese ..the l.e.d strips and the speed screen still aren’t working but I can live without them . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
