Possible Causes

Completely discharged or failed battery, Faulty power button, Internal fuse or power circuit failure, Corroded battery contacts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the robot and base are dry. Do not attempt to power a wet device.

Steps to resolve:

  • Check charging: Place the robot on the Home Base and look for any charging indicator. If none, verify the base has power and the outlet works.
  • Try direct charging (if supported): Use a compatible power adapter directly on the robot’s charging port.
  • Reseat or replace battery: Remove the battery, wait 1–2 minutes, clean contacts, and reinstall. If still dead, install a new battery.

When to replace parts: If the robot remains unresponsive with a known-good battery and charger, the main control board or power button assembly is likely faulty and requires professional repair.
