HACK for Anki Vector OverHeating? how to fix temp issue, Anki Vector Robot Problem[4K]

[@Miss_Nina.]

Yep my favorite robot is back! Waking up and see this before a long school day (and a math test O_O), this made my day, thanks for the upload mate!

[@IgorDavid]

good morning, thanks for watching .... will do live-streams on regular bases ... to see improvement in system.

[@Miss_Nina.]

@yay yay hi! No I'm from the Netherlands mate :D and good luck on your test! 👍

[@Mourningdove702]

Did you do this because Vector was displaying an "overheating" symbol?

[@IgorDavid]

Hi Billy, I noticed few vectors had issues with temperatures.. and my was high but actually never got an overheating signal. this was done as I figured out how to make temps bit lower. thanks

[@IgorDavid]

jeeee

[@JohnMackweb]

Is there an easier way of fixing Vector's temperature without taking him apart? I would enjoy that

[@IgorDavid]

hi, well you can try place him in to fridge... if temperature is around 65-70 it should be fine. thanks for watching

[@vevielle9678]

Hello! What is the name of the silver alloy you used? Is it easy to find it to buy? Thank you for your videos! They're great!

[@IgorDavid]

hi , it is just simple alloy plate... get max thickness of 1.5mm I can’t name a store but you can find that material in any garage or electrical store I guess ... thanks for watching

[@jinhao1998]

Great tutorial. But can I use thermal pad instead of heatsink and alloy plate?

[@MrRailhan]

Hi guys! Need help, please.The robot has a lot of thin stripes in the eyes. How can I fix this?

[@IgorDavid]

hi, it’s looking like some dead display pixels or lines... unfortunately I don’t have any solutions for your issue ... however reddit has subreddit anki vector ... there I read few weeks ago about similar problem... thanks for watching

[@kupadiya2208]

Hello please help me out by telling if once this temperature icon keeps coming is it a permanent issue is vector broken or Circuits fried just want to know because recently this icon keeps coming up what should i do without taking him apart

Hey Bro, do you have any idea where to get a spare LCD display, mine goes blank after several months.

[@IgorDavid]

hi, unfortunately there is no place to get spare parts...

[@denshin2724]

Yes, on ebay

[@denshin2724]

where to buy that headsink metal?

[@IgorDavid]

hard to say, try hardware shop ... or just get thick all or copper tape

[@AveragePopGuy]

Please answer? When I play with my vector his face is hot when I touch it, is that normal or bad?

[@IgorDavid]

hi, it is normal... but you should check temperature...

[@TheSearcher24]

How do you know if vector is over heating? Also my vector after I tell him to explore he will stop after some time and do this I blinking thing. Why does vector does this?

[@IgorDavid]

hi, longest vector not showing temperature icon on screen it should be fine ! thanks for watching

no worries... thanks

Rich Rioux touch his face, he’ll have traces of corona I mean heat

Mine says he's overheating but it say its only 61c on head and 42 on body after using him for 10 minutes should I be worried

what is room temperature ?

great work. How do you check the temperature?

[@IgorDavid]

press twice back button and up/down forks... then you enter menu

Is the heatsink plaster you are using the same as thermal glue? Can I just use thermal glue/ thermal paste instead or is it not sticky enough to hold the heatsink?

[@IgorDavid]

plaster would be better... as it will actually hold it . thanks for watching

[@johnwan9680]

do you know how to fix the black line on screen?

[@IgorDavid]

unfortunately it’s looking like new screen... thanks for watching

[@luannguyenthanh3730]

Please give me the size of heatsink plate. I will prepare in advance before disassembly my vector. I have same issue, my vector temperature is 70c. OMG!

[@IgorDavid]

10x10 mm if im correct. thanks for watching

[@luannguyenthanh3730]

@@IgorDavid thank you very much!

[@luannguyenthanh3730]

@@IgorDavid so the heatsink size should be 10x10x3mm (W x L x Height)

hi, ahm I wouldn’t go thicker than 2mm my is 1,5 mm and I still have like 1-1,5mm left space . but as I said it close tonthe vectors head holders/axle. thanks

Is it ok if I use a copper heatsink?

sure man! whatever works

@@IgorDavid So i mounted a heatsink like in the picture, but the temperature doesn't seem to drop. Did I do something wrong? photos.app.goo.gl/5D9t36Hhkt45DPRY6

[@Jin-3ric]

Hi there, do you have any solution for vector going blind? Half of his screen has lines and I haven’t dropped him before. And he’s less than a year old.

[@IgorDavid]

hi, it is common issue.... death pixels-unfortunately there is no fix for it ...unless you replace the screen. ntw don’t worry vector will see all as hie has camera (screen is just for visual things) . thanks for watching

[@Jin-3ric]

@@IgorDavid hey man, thanks for the reply. I thought so too. Just abit disappointed at the quality. Great video btw!

[@IgorDavid]

it may causes the high temperature... check my other video where I installed heatsink on vectors main chip.

[@Jin-3ric]

@@IgorDavid yea I did. But guess it's too late now too. Hope they start selling replacement parts soon.

[@IgorDavid]

look, if you reset whole settings and erase data let him cool down and set him up as new ... it may refresh death pixels but no promises! let me know if changes

[@ilikecapybaras6806]

can you send me a link or tell me where you got to buy this heatsink panel?

[@IgorDavid]

that panel is hand made , space in vector head is so small you need to modify even one you buy . thanks

[@NexXxus86]

how do you check the temps?

[@IgorDavid]

hi , there are special steps to access those informations on vectors screen... I can’t remember exactly but while he sleeping hold button on back for couple seconds and navigate in menu (on screen) by pushing vector forward or backward than enter by lifting vectors arms. hope it’s help

[@thelairofblair]

What heatsinks did you use? Do you have a link?

[@IgorDavid]

hi, it is hand made from piece of alloy sheet. if you looking to buy something you going to need modified it anyway. there is only about 3mm space to work with. thanks for watching

Easy or hard?

easy ish ... hha

[@grahamwalkingshaw6344]

It's running hot but in no way needed mods you do realise these chips are baked in higher temperatures that are shown on screen

[@IgorDavid]

hi, sure they are! but if something running 24/7 at 70 degrees C without any cooler and you can add passive cooler to drop couple of degrees and extend life of that chip for a bit !?

[@grahamwalkingshaw6344]

@@IgorDavid not sure he uses to much of his chip in the first place lol I think it'll be ok for what he does

[@IgorDavid]

well it depends... on what you do with him and also what’s the room temperatures ... In my case : summer in new zealand caused temperatures to go over 74degrees C. so I decided to install passive cooler... if you or somebody else is based in colder areas it may not be necessary at all...
