iLife V5 robot beeping while charging

Demonstrating beeping while charging problem with iLife V5 robot vacuum cleaner. It has behaved like this since I got it a couple of days ago, though it operates correctly when cleaning.

[@NarendraPersaud]

Ok, I've had this problem twice and I know how to resolve it. Take the vacuum off the charger and make sure it is switched to on. Hold the clean button for about 10-20 seconds and the robot will turn off completely. Then put it back on the charger base and switch it off and back on. After this it will start charging again properly. (Hopefully I can find this post so I can do this next time is does this again. Last time was 2 months ago and I had forgotten how to reset the bot.)

Thank you so so much for your solution to the same problem i had for a whole week! I tried it and am so grateful you posted it! I love my Ilive6 and don't know how i did w/out it!

[@caylew77]

I’ve found that switching it off and on again resets some of the glitch loops it gets into.

[@r2d2la15]

Thank you, it did work!

[@saylelabean4978]

This has worked for me. Thank you.

Easy to assemble, good strong materials, feels good, looks good.

[@bex271]

Oooooo weeeeee!! What a lil patience will do! Phew!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! It only did that strange beep coz it was ABSOLUTELY drained. Just bear the pain of listening to that annoying beep for about 10 minutes and suddenly it stops… back to normal quiet charging. Aaah the lovely sound of silence 😌. Good to know after 1 year of no use I can resurrect this poor robot.

[@mystery9313]

got a new battery and it fixed the problem for me!

[@junehutchison6252]

I unscrewed the small screws along the bumper. Cleaned behind it, screwed it back together and now it works perfectly. I bought 2 new batteries from eBay that I don't need.

[@geekgranny]

Mine stopped charging all of a sudden. I've tried all suggestions although it was not same issue. It has refused to charge for 2 weeks now. I was charging into port and not on base as I have animals that move it. Today I put it on the base to charge to see if it is the port on robot. This happened once before when the battery ran down. But it started charging after a few hours. Is it time to write the company? It is less than a year old.

[@avecrux333]

ANSWER: If the beeping continues after all of the troubleshooting suggestions below, it means the battery needs to be replaced. Just happened to mine: contact iLife and they told me a I could get a replacement battery on Amazon for $25. I ordered it and now my vacuum works again...!!

[@peggyday2213]

Mine worked again after a new battery, then stopped again

[@brad4edat]

I have exactly isue! Chinise robot a320. My case was: i replace my old original battery with new diy li-ion 3800mah battery. But first i don't solder termal resistor from orijinal pack, directly to robot conectors for him, just put termal resistor with fast conectors. On second charge, my robot make exactly beepings! Then i open robot and soldering termo resistor to conectors! Now evreting is fine! Just be shure that your battery paks make good conections with robot inside!!!

[@BenPortmanlewes]

Same issue. Seems to be when it's on very low charge.

[@HandsONreviews4u]

I have the same issue with mine.....what's then problem??? Do you know

[@thestarlitmagician]

Mine just did this and it made me so mad and when I would leave it on a kept trying to vacuum so the bumper had a few screws loose and I couldn’t figure out how to screw them back in so Ipulled bumper out slightly and put rubber bands on both sides and it stopped I definitely am not buying another one it would not charge without beeping one or off directly or to the dock it’s definitely a bumper issue and I’m not a man so I’m not gonna take it apart and break it The beeping was so annoying there’s no way I could listen to that for four hours straight every single day seemed to stop the beeping hope that helps because I couldn’t find anything

[@kinziekitchen2621]

My robot struck today the lights were very low beeping continuously, it stops only after I manually off using power button. I also cleaned all filters, It is been not even a year old.

[@Gitanos76]

i ve a same problem with my ilife a 4s, your brush is dirty and suddenly it pulls on the motor and the battery to make it turn, you have to remove the pinion on the right and remove the hair or animal hair,sorry for my english, im french :)

[@bgfelagund]

I have just fixed again this problem on my v7s plus. Last time it was dirty sensors. This time the front wheel was not spinning properly so I detached it and pulled dirt from around the wheel with tweezers and it charges just fine now.

Same problem here. It turns out, that I was useing the wrong charger. I found the right one and now it runs again

[@caylew77]

Very unusual. I have not ever seen mine do that!

[@Niagaranana62]

Hi I had the same issue beeping then I changed the batteries in the remote & voila it stopped beeping try that!

[@meghamer3065]

Same problem

[@flaviadarosasilveira463]

hello, my robo is ilife v7 plus and it is doing exactly the same as yours, how did you manage to solve it?

[@GerryMulvenna]

Hi Flavia - I woudn't say I have solved it, but there was a glimmer of hope when I dismantled the front bumpers, pulled lots of hair and fluff out of that area, gave the sensors etc. a good clean and reassembled the bumpers. It recharged itself without any interruptions for one time afterwards. I also find that it is more likely to avoid the "unsettled recharging" behaviour if it has only been hoovering on laminate floorboards and not carpet.

[@flaviadarosasilveira463]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR RETURN, I WILL TRY WHAT YOU SAID, I ALSO SENT AN E-MAIL TO THE SELLER WHICH COULD BE THE MOTHER BOARD, SORRY FOR THE TRANSLATION I'M FROM BRAZIL AND I'M USING GOOGLE TO TRANSLATE@@GerryMulvenna

[@flaviadarosasilveira463]

@@GerryMulvennahello. I sent an email to the supplier and he replied the following: "Please unplug the cable of the start button board without installing the start button board, use the adapter to charge the machine directly, and see if there will be an alarm sound during the charging process. After fully charged, use the remote control to start the machine (the cable for starting the key board is still not installed at this time), and see if the machine can be used normally" So my husband did what he asked: he opened the robot, removed the power cable connector and it charged normally with the power button disconnected. So my husband cleaned the connectors and put them back in and magically it worked perfectly again! If it didn't work with the power button connected, it would still be possible to use it only with the remote control, but without this button. Hope this helps. Sorry for the translation I'm speaking from Brazil and using google translator

[@michellebennett6719]

Ya my v3s does that to

[@user-hz9ib6xu5v]

I was gone 19 days and I had it pack away. Figure the battery drained all the way down. Hadn't had any problems before then. Guess until it gets a decent charge it's gonna beep

[@UserMM240]

I switched the button to off for some hours and after it was working again

[@antohlik]

Thanks you!

[@livingwithceliac7913]

Did you find a fix?

[@GerryMulvenna]

Unfortunately all the fixes I have tried have failed. iLife sent me components all the way from the Far East and the first batch were the wrong parts and I successfully replaced the components sent the second time, but it made no difference whatsoever. I have just tried Narendra Persaud's solution (hold the Clean button for 10-20 seconds, then switch on and off). At first it looked promising, but then it started to beep again while charging. It is doing so while I type now. I also tried taking the battery out for a long period to no avail. I may just have to accept that it will be noisy and needs to be off when charging. It performs its vacuuming function quite well.

[@livingwithceliac7913]

@@GerryMulvenna I unscrewed the main screws in the bottom of mine and boom. It's working again

Battery needs replaced.

[@starglitter1966]

@@DS-zy4gs I let it run completely dead. Looked closely & realized, since I have 2 different models all together, I was using the wrong charger for that robot. I switched them back. Haven't looked to see if the output is different, but it made the difference..

[@DS-zy4gs]

@@starglitter1966 need to be careful different currents can completely blow the circuit off and death of the product. Remove the battery and then plug is in to see if tolerates power.

Your battery is dead and need to order a new one.

[@ivo786]

Omg .. pulled apart entire robot, exchanged battery.. nothing. Apparently I used the wrong charger cable 😂

[@dcysfelices2294]

Hi all. Maybe somebody can help me. My v5 Pro charges but when I pulse clean it tries to move and stops . If I take it from the charger it continues start to beep ( does not stop beeping) If I switch it off and on again it continues to beep. I bought a new battery but same issue. Do I have to open it? And remove dirt. Does anybody had this and can tell me what to do exactly that would be great. Is it a sensor? Any help.The robot is fantastic for pet hairs. Please any help is welcome thx

[@GerryMulvenna]

Hi DCyF - I think you might get some resolution, by taking off the front bumber and removing any dirt and cleaning sensors. My robot in the video has been resurrected and is charging silently for the first time ever. I'm in a different house now and it seems to fair better on the wooden floors, in terms of charging without beeping.

[@dcysfelices2294]

@@GerryMulvenna hi Gerry. Thx for replying. I have started already opening the whole robot and damn I never saw so many pethair together 🤣🤣. I have cleaned inside and think removed most of it. What I can not remove and clean are the front sensors. The click system is hard. And I am afraid I will damage the electronic parts. Any suggestions or maybe you saw a video for this model? I really hope it is because of the front sensors are blocked some way. It is strange that as soon as I connect the battery the robot start to beep continuously without stopping.

[@dcysfelices2294]

I have removed all the dust with an aircompressor for airbrushing. Still the light are fully blinking and beeping without stopping. I have also ordered a new battery. Maybe it is the battery? Although it is fully charged. Maybe it is broken?(don't have a clue regarding amp's or voltages). I need to have it fixed because it is a great help cleaning the pets hairs🤣🤣🤣

[@ROSUFANE94]

Have you repaired?

[@jerrywhidby.]

My iLife sounds like it's on life support. Nothing has fixed it.

[@DS-zy4gs]

Try buying a new battery mines done the same I bought a replacement battery and it's as good as new

same here :(

[@tstx3jwi]

did you manage to fix it? I have a same problem : )

[@GerryMulvenna]

Well, I sent an email to iLife Technical support with a link to the video and they responded quickly to suggest that "there is something wrong with side brush". I had to send my order details and I am now waiting to hear what the 'next step' will be. I was sort of hoping there was a simple physical solution, but don't know yet. I will post again, when I find out.

[@tstx3jwi]

thank you

[@chmatav27]

the same issue, I hope the same reply.

[@GerryMulvenna]

There was a lack of response for a few days, so I sent a couple more emails and iLife offered a solution whereby they send me "a pair of side brush motor and circuit board" to hopefully fix whatever the problem is. Instructions to follow.

[@chmatav27]

I did the following process and at the moment it works well: 1. I removed the battery for 1 hr and put it back. 2. Clean all the sensors and the bumper sensor. 3. Place the robot to be charged but the switch off. 4. Wait for 100% load but did not, and started the same lighting process, leave it for 12 hrs off without charging and shutting down. 5. I turned it on and I work well, at the moment. I think the reset should be for a few hours, it may be coincidence I do not know, but until now it works.

[@trevorjackson2442]

I HAVE THE SOULTON: if it is doing this, simpliy turn off the dock turn off the vaccum and clean the charging conecters on both then turn both back on. Souliton 2: Make sure the vaccum is not off this will also happen if the vaccum is off.

Mine has its own stupid beeping problems - Chinese knock off junk!
