CrunchyTire Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) I just got this a couple weeks ago and ridden under 100 miles. When I was riding today I looked down and noticed my LCD panel on the wheel was completely off. I pulled over and powered off the wheel and powered it back on. The LCD panel is still not working, and neither are the electronics like the headlight or RGB lighting on the side. When I press the power button to turn on the headlight, nothing happens. If I try to turn the headline on through the app, the wheel beeps but the lights dont come on. The RGB strip on the back of the wheel has 3 red lights flashing, during normal operation there are 5 blue ones. The 3 red lights could mean something but I dont know what. The wheel is fully balancing and connects to my phone over bluetooth. So the headlights, the LCD screen, and the RGB lights have stopped working. I checked the connections inside and also tried disconnecting the main battery and draining the power from the motherboard, then plugging it all back in. But the issue was still there. Dont want to ride it like this and not sure what to do. Reached out the retailer but it will probably be days before I get a response. If anyone has any tips I would appreciate it.

Whalesmash Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Very common thing on gotways. It's usually got something to do with the daughter board. The good news is that it's not a critical problem. Sometimes free spinning the wheel to cutout resolves it, other times you just keep riding and it randomly starts working again. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bige22 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I have the exact same issue with my commander. It has less than 60 miles written on it and it has the three flashing lights on the back and no headlights and no display on the LCD display and no blinking RGB lights but that’s going on. I tried free, spin the wheel twice and it didn’t fix the issue. Is there another way to fix it or to to reset the thing or something or are there any other ways that I can try to fix this issue please and thank you for all your help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukasz Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I had the same issue after around 6000km in my custm RS-based wheel - no lights except 3 most right brake leds flashing. This is werid firmware bug - as during the switch off front light blinked as usual for a second - so I knew that this is not the HW issue. I have tried almost everything - free spin, free spin to cutoff to front / free spin to cutoff to rear, high speed to beep front / free spin to cutoff to back , putting wheel to transport mode, replacement of the smaller board, replacement of the 6 pin connection wire between the boards, etc. I almost run of the ideas... untill I have DISCHARGED the wheel below 10% and BOOOM! it works all ok now. We will see for how long .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
