Why does the hovercraft not turn on and what to do?

The hoverboard is a modern and fashionable means of transportation, it is quickly gaining popularity among children and adults. The device has many advantages, but it is not safe from sudden breakdowns. It happens that the gyro scooter simply stops turning on from the button or randomly turns off while driving. Such a failure can occur either due to manufacturing defects or the fault of the owner.

The gyro scooter can slow down on the go, start squeaking with a blinking red light. This indicates a transition to emergency mode. Possible reasons:

• low battery;
• contacts between electronic elements are disconnected;
• malfunction of wheels or lost balancing.

You can only determine the exact problem yourself. It is worth noting: if the problem is in contacts, then this can not always be seen with the naked eye. If the hoverboard is under warranty, then do not disassemble it yourself.

Often, when the gyro scooter does not turn on using a special button, it is recommended to reset the settings to factory settings. The reason may be a balancing failure, and after such a simple action, reconfiguration will occur.

Consider the most common causes.

1. Low battery. Immediately after purchase, the device should be charged for about 5-6 hours. But then the charge recovery time decreases to 2 hours. If it does not charge, then the problem is with the charger or battery.
2. Bad battery. It happens that the device works exclusively when the charger is connected. Typically, a gyro scooter behaves in a similar way after a long period of inactivity. In such a situation, you will have to change the battery. The good news is that you can do it yourself. The main thing is to buy a suitable part.
3. Damaged circuit boards. Overheating or mechanical damage can lead to burnout of electronic components. In this case, the device may go into emergency mode. It is almost impossible to fix the problem at home, so you need to go to the service center.
4. Breakage A strong shock or water entering the housing can damage the electronics. Damage occurs after using the charger not from the kit. All this is not a warranty case, so repair and replacement of parts will have to be paid.

It happens that during transportation some internal elements are damaged, therefore It is recommended not to order the device by mail. For repairs, contact only certified centers.

It happens that the gyro scooter goes and at some point slows down. After this, a transition to emergency mode or a complete shutdown occurs. There are several reasons for this.

1. Low battery. Increasing the load, for example, climbing a hill, overcoming obstacles require more energy than riding on a flat road. Sometimes the scooter may run out sooner than the owner expects. In this case, you can hear a beep and see the battery indicator flashing red.
2. Blown boards. Central and lateral nodes periodically fail. For repairs you need to contact a specialist. This usually happens after the device crashes.
3. Moisture or foreign objects inside. Such an event leads to a circuit in the electronics. Damage to the warranty is not repaired; you will have to pay for repairs. It is especially important to contact a good specialist.
4. Change of balance. It happens that the gyro scooter gets out of balance, and it turns off on the go. In this case, further use is possible only after reprogramming this parameter. Typically, a problem occurs if the device is lifted in the on state.

If signs of damage are found, you should immediately remember where the check and warranty card for the hoverboard lie. If the period of free maintenance has not ended, then you need to safely go to a specialist. Repairing the device yourself is quite risky. People who have no idea about the operation of electronic systems should abandon this venture. All this can aggravate the situation.

If the breakdown cannot be fixed without disassembling the hoverboard, then you should immediately go to a specialist.

1. Do not drive a vehicle in wet weather, through mud and sand. Water and dust can interfere with ingestion.
2. It is important to protect the hovercraft from falls, bumps. The same applies to the exit from curbs and other obstacles.
3. Do not discharge the battery after the device beeps when the battery is low. This could damage the battery.
4. If the gyro scooter is turned off, then you should first find out the cause, and only then turn it on.
5. When going into emergency mode, you should not try to go by transport until it comes back to normal.
