Kingsong 16x motherboard replacement


Recommended Posts

My Kingsong 16x wheel got a bad water exposure and went dead. It showed no signs of life after accident.

I ordered a new motherboard and now I have installed it. With the new board the lights on motherboard are working and device gives it's ordinary beeps. I can connect wheel to Kingsong app and everything in app seems normal.

Anyway power button does nothing and gyroscope is not working. Motor does nothing. I have not yet installed pedals and cover.

Could someone have advice what could be wrong with my install and what things I could try to power up this wheel?

I haven't owned a kingsong but my thoughts go to the motor. Maybe it has failed somehow.

Did you connect the cables in the right combination of colors? They can't be mixed.

There's also the possibility that the new board is in transport mode. There's a prodecure to disable it.

Seems either the power button connector is not connected right or the power button did not survive the weather exposure. 

If you're able to reach the power button pins, you might want to try shortening them to see if that causes the wheel to turn on or off!
