joeboots Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hi there! After a lot of coaxing from my brother, who's an EUC enthusiast, I finally took the leap and bought an mten4. I've been riding it around for a week or so now, getting my sea legs under me, but yesterday as I was riding close to my house, I was practicing some curbs a the unit took a little spill. It wouldn't turn back on; the lights and display flash when I hold down the power button, but it won't power on. I chalked it up to low battery, but after charging it to 100%, the problem persists. Would appreciate any leads on diagnosis and repair. Thanks so much! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboFixIt Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It sounds like maybe one of the connection may have dislodged after the fall. Do you see any warning messages in the app? Try EUC World, Darkness Bot or the Begode app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 The power cable for the motherboard probably slipped out, known issue. See Ronin's video, he had the same issue and fixed it  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbera Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Oh well done Begode ! - that's a new low for you - a power cable that routinely falls out during normal use ! It's almost worthy of a Darwin Award ! I am kinda surprised that an XT60 type connector can be that loose - the reason these are used in drones and other power-critical applications so much is because they are famously such tight, reliable connectors ! Presumably these are not actual XT60 connectors then, but some cheap Chinese approximation ? Â Edited October 19, 2022 by Cerbera 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeboots Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 Thanks to everyone who offered advice! The problem was a dead motherboard, alienrides (eventually) sent me a replacement and I was able to do the switch relatively easily. Has been working super ever since! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I am surprised they don't use xt90 antispark , I changed mine to xt90s on my mten3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
