How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the robot and remove it from the dock before opening any covers.

Steps to try:

  • 1. Recreate symptom: With the robot ON, gently tap or lift one side a few millimeters. If it shuts off, a loose connection is likely.
  • 2. Inspect battery plug: Remove the battery cover and ensure the battery connector is tight and the wires are not strained.
  • 3. Check power switch: Wiggle the power switch gently; if the robot turns off/on, the switch may be failing.
  • 4. Internal wiring check (advanced): A technician can open the housing and inspect for loose connectors or cracked solder joints on the main PCB.
  • 5. Replace faulty component: Replace the battery harness, power switch, or main PCB as indicated by inspection.
