Are you having problems with your hoverboard? Perhaps it’s not quite working as it should be anymore? It can be pretty frustrating, but in most cases it tends to be an issue that’s easily rectified.
If your hoverboard isn’t working the way that it should be then you may need to reset it. If that’s the case, we have all of the information that you need in order to reset your hoverboard. Keep on reading for everything you need to know!
How To Reset A Hoverboard
The very first thing that you need to do in order to reset a hoverboard is to turn it off. Sounds counterintuitive, but we assure you – it’s very necessary! When you have done that, sit the device on the floor, ensuring that it’s level.
Don’t move the hoverboard, but press down the power button for roughly 10 seconds then let it go. You’ll notice a lot of flashing and beeping at this point, but don’t worry about it for now.
The hoverboard should be off when you let the power button go, and the board is reset so you can turn it on again.
Now, it’s important to note that this is a general rule of thumb. It may not be the case for your specific hoverboard, so it’s really important that you check the instruction manual before you attempt to reset your hoverboard.
Why Does My Hoverboard Beep and Have a Flashing Red Light?
This may depend on your specific hoverboard model. In most cases though, flashing red lights and beeping can indicate that you have very low charge in your device. It typically means that your charge level is at less than 10%.
For that reason, it’s a good idea to put your hoverboard on charge when you see this warning sign, or else your hoverboard is going to completely run out of charge.
All you need to do is keep your hoverboard on charge – usually for around a few hours – and it should be completely ready to use. Don’t use it in the meantime either while it’s charging.
How to Fix a Hoverboard That Won’t Turn On
So how do you fix a hoverboard that isn’t turning on? The answer depends on why the hoverboard isn’t turning on. Sometimes it’s a matter of simple troubleshooting.
The most obvious answer is that the hoverboard isn’t turning on because it’s not properly charged.
In this case, plug the charger in and check the lights – if they’re green then your charger believes that the battery is completely charged, if it’s red then it may need longer to charge.
If you’re having issues with charging, you may need a new charger. Have you plugged the charger in correctly too?
Some other things that could be wrong is that you have a faulty motherboard, the battery may need replacing, you may have a wire unhooked in the hoverboard or your hoverboard may have some other kind of fault.
It’s important to realize when something is outside of your area of expertise though – if you need help, don’t be afraid to ask for it!
How Do You Fix a Hoverboard That Won’t Charge?
There can be two issues here – either your hoverboard battery is broken, or your charger is faulty. In most cases it may be best to replace the charger or the battery if you’re having issues with charging.
If you have a friend with a similar make and model of hoverboard, it may be worth asking them if you can borrow their charger for a while so you can get to the bottom of which one is the problem.
If you have any issues with the balance sensors and circuits, then there’s not a whole lot that you can do about it. You can buy replacement kits to solve the issue.
Loose Cables
If the cables are loose then it’s imperative that you reconnect them. Unscrew the bottom part of the board, taking the bottom off the body. Then look for the circuit board and connect the wires again as needed. In some cases a new motherboard may be necessary.
Battery Faults
You may find that you’re having issues with the battery. If it’s gone past its lifespan, then you will need to buy a new one.
How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Hoverboard?
This varies depending on the hoverboard and the things that need to be repaired, but it’ll cost between $100 – $200 to fix most of the major parts like the Gyroscope, Motherboard and the motor.
Why Does My Hoverboard Have a Jerky Wheel?
In most cases, your wheel may be jerky or it may not move properly because there are issues inside of the hoverboard. It usually comes down to issues with the motherboard, battery or the motor.
If you still have problems with the wheel even after you have charged the hoverboard though, it’s a decent indication that you have an internal issue.
In this case, you may either need to get the hoverboard repaired or speak to the manufacturer about getting a replacement model.
Conclusion
If you need to reset your hoverboard, you may be pleased to see that it’s a fairly simple thing to do! It’s usually just a matter of following a few simple steps and you are all ready to go!
Remember, sometimes resetting the hoverboard may not quite be what you need to do. Sometimes there may be deeper issues at play.
If you are noticing persistent issues with your hoverboard, then it’s best to seek help and further guidance to see what the issue is. Sometimes the issues may be a simple fix, or in other cases you may need to get a replacement.
