What to do if the gyro scooter beeps and the red light is on?

The owners of gyro scooters often wonder what to do if the vehicle beeps and the red light is on (lit). This problem is faced by many people, and the reason is not the discharge of the battery, although this can happen if the user is new. In practice, there are many promises for the occurrence of such problems, just like their solutions. More about this in this publication.

Often there are times when the power button responds to pressing, but the gyro does not go. It is not worth panicking in such a situation, since it is likely that everything is fine.

Look at the lights:

• the first transfers the state of the hoverboard;
• the second shows the battery charge.

If the charge drops below the established norm, the battery indicator constantly lights up in red. There is still a minimal charge, but electronic equipment will block the movement in order to prevent a complete discharge.

With the status indicator, everything is not so simple. As with any technique, there are error codes in the electronic equipment of gyro scooters.

If the blink remains, count how many times and recognize the error.

• One blink - problems with wiring. Check that the wires are connected securely by disconnecting and reconnecting them one at a time.
• 2 blinks - malfunctions in the electrical circuit.
• 3 blinks - The probable cause is the shorting of the phase wires. With this malfunction it is worth contacting specialists.
• 4 blinks - failure of the wheel or the position sensor on the side of the system board.
• 5 flashes - problems with the wheel or the position sensor on the battery side.
• 6 blinks - The battery is empty or needs to be replaced.
• 7 flashes - breakdown of the sensor, gyroscopic control module or auxiliary board from the battery side. May need a replacement.
• 8 blinks - a problem with one of the balancing boards.
• 9 flashes - the false spatial location of the sensors (the scooter may have been turned upside down).

There is no common reason why the device beeps and does not move. In most cases, users are faced with the fact that their hoverboard is, in fact, a low-quality copy. Naturally, it uses low-power sensors, useless wiring and cheap manufacturing materials, so you don’t need to be surprised at an early breakdown. A completely different calico, when the device worked without complications for a long time, and then suddenly failed. The squeak of the gyroscope occurs during the ride, when it is on a charge or simply when turned on. There are usually several reasons for this:

• the impact of the body on a hard surface and, as a result, damage to the "insides";
• illiterate repair when the battery does not turn off and a short circuit occurs;
• moisture on the boards;
• exceeding the permissible speed limit;
• weak battery;
• overload when climbing a slope greater than 15 °.

We consider each item in more detail. The gyrocycle can pick up as a result of mechanical damage, which negatively affects its functionality. In this regard, you must carefully handle it and prevent, for example, falling to the ground or swooping on the curbs. Collision with an obstacle can lead to breakdown of one of the device boards.

Very often dirt, dust or moisture gets inside the gyrocycle. As a rule, this can cause a short circuit, which can lead to the failure of any component. If during movement water gets into the battery, the gyroscope can even catch fire. Although it should be noted that this happens quite rarely, since the manufacturers of these devices worry about consumer protection. However, they recommend, after completing the use of gyrocycles, to carefully inspect them for the presence of dirt and moisture and wipe them so that there are no unforeseen moments, for example, during the charging process.

Often, malfunctions appear due to the fact that the owners of the devices try to make repairs on their own. Some of the users, noticing a trip problem, stop and begin to repair. And to find out why the gyrocycle stopped functioning, they try to dismantle the device cover located in its upper part. Such actions can cause a short circuit in the motherboard, as a result of which TIP127 transistors can burn out (there are 2 of them). Despite the failure of one of these 2 elements located on the main board with a microcontroller, the gyro scooter will stop functioning.

Another reason for the failure of the gyrocycle is user desire to replace the Bluetooth module on their own, without the help of professionals. At the same time, someone forgets to turn off the battery, which leads to a short circuit. The gyro scooter in some episodes may continue to work for some time without fail, and the user is not able to detect a problem that has appeared.

On individual modifications, the gyro begins to squeak when discharging the battery.

A separate reason should be given the squeak of the gyrocycle when moving, especially when accelerating. In this situation, the squeak does not indicate a malfunction, but only warns of the need to reduce speed for your own safety. This signal can be turned off via the Tao Tao Plus application menu if your gyrocycle is equipped with a Tao Tao board.

The same applies to overloads. Some modifications begin to pick up when the user wants to climb the slope more than 15. To prevent breakage, he emits a long warning squeak and is even able to shut down.

Try to calibrate the device. If this does not solve the problem and the gyrocycle still beeps, you need to take a warranty coupon for this device and contact the management of the outlet where it was purchased, or the service center. At the same time, you must be prepared for the fact that goods purchased by you will not be accepted at a point of sale or repaired in a workshop.

From time to time, users have to deal with a situation when the gyrocycle starts to pick up when you press the power button, but does not turn off when you press it again. There are 2 key reasons:

• battery malfunction;
• problems directly in the power button.

Despite the fact that these problems can be easily fixed on their own, First, a diagnosis should be made at the service center. This will allow you to accurately verify the specific reason.
