LEO_LEO Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 HI, My gt16 V2 does not turn on anymore Today while I was washing it, the water penetrated, the wheel began to emit a continuous whistle, continued for 5 minutes, then stopped. Moving it, he started whistling again for five more minutes, so he went off. I tried to disassemble it to disconnect the battery, during this operation I heard a discharge, so it is off. Now it doesn't start anymore. Tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEO_LEO Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 it is all dead, someone knows if there is some buffer fuse or other protection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know exactly if there is a fuse on the Gt16...i guess no and if so, then it will sit between batterys and board! When you look at the board, take attention even if batterys disconnected! The big capacitors will/might still be loaded! If your water damage has caused a short on the board it eventually will be dead, sorry.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the only thing that might still happen is that after drying it will come back. But i doubt that. If even lights, bluetooth dont work, some main components seam to be dead, perhaps the Dc converter? Who knows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scatcat Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 @Yi Chen as dependable as always I wouldn't wash my GT16 without disconnecting the batteries and discharging the capacitors. And I have water-proofed my controller housing to some extent... But there is a shitload of current waiting to be released there, so just a few drops of water in the wrong place and the board is dead. If the batteries are disconnected and the capacitors discharged, it's only a matter of making sure everything is absolutely dry before reconnecting.

Yi Chen Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 If your GT16 is in water, you should first open it and wait for the drying. The interface of the wire should be sealed with an electrical tape to prevent short circuit. Please contact us before dismantling GT16. I will give you video. It is important not to start the GT16 to prevent the burning of the motherboard. We have professional maintenance personnel, please contact us immediately.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I sure wish these wheels were made, um, waterproof? I really wonder why EUC makers don't all use waterproof connectors? Are they just too expensive? https://www.molex.com/molex/products/group?channel=products&key=sealed_connectors http://www.overclock.net/forum/134-cooling-experiments/1540031-showme-s-motherboard-cpu-ram-waterproofing-experiment.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO_LEO Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 "while I was washing it, the water penetrated, the wheel began to emit a continuous whistle, continued for 5 minutes, then stopped.Moving it, he started whistling again for five more minutes, so he went off." the wheel was switched off, the wheel started alone, my problem was the opposite, how could I turn it off! (...thanks but ...ok, Lord works in mysterious ways, but I do not think a scientist is necessary to understand that a wet electric appliance must not be switched on ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this moment the controller is in phase of diagnosis Hey I hope you get a repaired board back from yi Chen very soon. ? Sorry I read this post too late. One thing I have made good experiences is an electronic cleaner. The one from sonax 806400 I can recommend. With this cleaner I already repaired smartphone buttons, tv remote controls and even old notebooks with oxidated mainboars caused by fluids (coke)... But if shorted mosfets can be repaired with this cleaner is questionable... ? Anyhow, please let us know as soon as you have an update. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO_LEO Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 hi, 22 April Chen sent the controller to the factory for repair it, and now, if I have understood well, the controller has been shipped from the factory ...and meanwhile I'm waiting patiently scanning the horizon to the east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO_LEO Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 May 18 the controleer is back in these days I have tested it, now it is ufficial: my wheel is back on the road What can I say, I had to wait for shipping times and diagnosis times, but I'm happy because I've never been abandoned by the seller, he followed me and sent me the replacement piece without taking advantage of it, so a positive experience all in all I think this experience indicates that nowadays, a nearby retailer is not necessary, the shipping and communication channels today allow you to communicate in real time even at a distance, what is important is the seriousness of the seller, and I am happy because I found it ...in China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is conscientious to a fault. He really tries to do his best for the customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
