How to Remove and Replace Modules on the iRobot Roomba 700 Series

I don’t have another one. But thanks for answering.

I have 692 don't think the brushes are turning. Took it all apart since it was very noisy. I cleaned everything. Including the gears for the bushes. Can you help?

I have the Roomba 770 series, I replaced the battery after not using the robot for almost a year. After replacing the battery I ran the robot for a full cleaning cycle and it worked great. When the robot tried to dock it would not position properly in the charging station. I cleaned the contact points and the small windows on the station and robot, then tried to dock the robot again, it wouldn’t dock, it kept going in and backing out. I then went to KZbin to find a fix, I saw the fix of putting washers on the roller wheel to lift the back of the robot, that did not work. In my search for a fix I found your channel do you think you know what my problem is? Thanks

I recently had to disassemble my Roomba 770. Turns out something jammed the brush and roller and it actually shoved one of the pins out of the brush and roller transmission. Luckily I found it but it did damage the transmission housing. I've placed it back in and attempted to JB weld it back in place. I cleaned all of the gears ind the inside of the housing because it was filthy. My question is do I need to add grease to the gears? I was thinking of using some white ceramic grease I have, basically fishing reel grease.

Great disassembly video. Just wondering if you know if it possible to disable cliff sensors programmatically or mechanically. My home is single level I have bunch of rugs that have checkers coloring and dark border, which makes rumba useless.

Yes, there is actually 3 ways of doing this, one is via firmware hack, which would be the hardest, the second way is cutting off the correct wires and solder up the correct resistance if needed. But the easier of them all is drilling or braking of plastic inside the cliff sensor, when removing the cliff sensors you will see the black plastic inside the clear plastic. So each cliff sensors consist of having 1 IR LED (transmitter) and 1 photocell LED (IR receiver), and for the cliff sensors to work the light beam gets send via bounce of floor, so you can drill a hole or remove some of the plastic so the light gets transmitted so it will always think its on the floor.

@@TheiRobotChannel thank you so much.

I got a Roomba 780 and disassembled it and when I reassembled I was not able to turn it on is there anything I am missing?

Hi. Do you happen to have a video that covers replacement of the front bumper and IR sensor for the Roomba 770? I need to replace my 770 IR sensor and I will also replace the front bumper itself as the IR sensor socket seems to have been partially broken when the sensor was torn off. Thanks

Can you give us the website where do you buy module parts, we need a spinner brush module.

This is the model of Roomba I own. The debris does not deposit in the dust bin. It simply stays inside the cover. Can you advise how to fix?

[@TheiRobotChannel]

Try with another dust bin
