This is a complete teardown, fix and re-assembly of an Irobot Roomba 650 model. It requires 1 replacement A/C jack you can find on ebay for cheap, and some basic tools to dis-assemble.
I realize the video is long, but i wanted to include taking it apart and putting it back together for anyone who hasn't done it or doesn't want to have to refer to other videos.

Thanks man!! i have a roomba 655, this model DOES NOT COME WITH THE FAST CHARGING PORT ON THE SIDE. But before I found your video i changed the motherboard, which it does come without the side charging connector on the board (I would show you the pics if I could), so i went and bought the jack-wire-connector you recommended , connected to the mother board, mounted on the side, poked a hole, and VOILA charges all good. So thanks to your help i did not only fixed the problem , but also i added functionality))) IM happy!!! PS1:Because on my personal journey with this thing, i took it apart and put it back together 3 times, and i can tell you don't need to take the bottom subassemblies out. just the bumper and the top circular pieces until you get to the mother board PS2: Much appreciation to you, for being the ONLY GUY that that does not says: Make sure is plugged ..or that kind of useless help that most of blogs suggest PS3: i agree with Kelly that Roomba built these to be fixable, so don't be afraid to do the job yourself , accouple of pictures and drawings will help you take it apart and put it back together w/o much trouble.

READ BEFORE YOU BUY - there is no need to purchase a new port and wait for it to arrive. If you have only one charging cable, the safety feature is of no use to you anyway. So simply bypass it! On the back of the charging port, the green PCB board has a BLACK, BROWN, and RED wire attached to it. The black and red are the bottom tab (ground/negative) and the center pole (positive, first contact on bottom), and the brown wire corresponds to the other charging contact on the bottom of the roomba. You simply need to jump the BLACK to the BROWN in any way you like! This permanently fixes the switch to be stuck "on" instead of off. If you don't have solder, you could simply remove the part entirely at the connector to the motherboard, and then bend the two prongs (for the BLACK and BROWN wires) together so they touch - or, leave just the wires (rip them off) and attach them together. If you have solder, you can solder these two prongs together, or if you want to leave the charging port in the machine (and have it still be usable) you can do as I did and solder the back of the port, right on the PCB. This also allows you to replace it with a new port later if you so desire. The two bottom-most (opposite the wires) blobs of solder correspond to the switch, you can try it out by jumping them together and watching it all work. Then just stick some new solder between these two points and viola! Permanently fixed, and you can still charge from the side :) - there is no need to unscrew the handle, as in the video (and yes, it's a handle!) - there is no need to unscrew the WHEELS at all, you can leave those too!

That's right. I screwed the Roomba motherboard trying to replace a component. I bought a "new" one that come with that charging connector (original mine doesn't have it). you only need to bridge the left and center connector on the motherboard already installed on the roomba body.

At around 18:00 the thing that you are unsure of that you think might be a handle… is the handle. It only comes up a few degrees and makes carrying the Roomba from one room to another easy. Also, you did realize you did not have to disassemble quite as much as you did, other that to gain full access to the places to blow out dust. Just saying that I have done this in 5 minutes… not 49. And, by the way, great job of taking the thing apart and getting it back together. Shows people what can go very right and waht needs some itme spent to do without breaking anything.

It's useful to extend the good functioning of roomba to take the chance to clean it deeply once it disassembled and before to joint it all again. Dust in bumpers and IR sensors and beams not only make it bad working, also make batteries to last much much less.

Excellent demo, but this problem is far easier to solve by just squirting switch cleaner into the socket on the side of the robot, push plug in and out a couple of times, and presto, now docks fine again.The problem is just a dirty contact, no strip down needed. So give this a try first!

Thanks so much for this video! I never would have suspected the direct charging port, especially since it was working fine when plugged in. In my case I simply had some dust in that port, a simple toothpick swizzle sorted it out and my Roomba is docking again. Long live Roomba!

Great video Kelly, despite the rambling. (kidding, very nice). My Roomba 650 doesn't have that part at all, there is no place to charge directly. The docking station contacts must be kept immaculately clean. I may solder small, thin pieces of sheet silver or copper to the contacts to get better contact than steel. Thanks again for the nice video! ... PS, the screws that are held in are called "captive screws".

I found an easy SOLUTION: I had the same problem. When I put the charging cable directly into my Roomba, it was charged without problems, but it would not charge on the docking station. Before you exchange the DC jack on the roomba I recommend testing the following: the problem is dust in the charging jack on Roomba. Just blow it out and put some contact spray into the jack. It should be loading on the docking station again - at least it worked fine for my Roomba. Background: the plug is a changeover switch so that the Roomba can be charged via the charging station an via the DC jack at the same time. Over time, the plug and thus the switching mechanism gets dirty. Blow it out and use contact spray. It takes 1 Minute and solves the problem. Good Luck.

IT WORK FOR ME. It was this jack that was malfunctioning. I tried without it and more and it was when I put the jack of my friend's Roomba 761 (item to mine) to it that it started to recharged and docking again. I put a little heat on the jack soldering just to reconnect it good than showered it with brake cleaner and electric fluid and now it just works great.

Rosie the Roomba does a great job picking up my hair🌼 (which is very long) as well as my two cats' hair. Much easier to just prep the house (pick up loose things on the floor, move some furniture around) and start Rosie than to vacuum--which forces my teenager to pick up her room! Also helped us take control of the flea problem we were having. Connects to the app and lets you know when she's stuck, low on battery, or done with the job (and she returns to her dock to recharge). Easy to empty bin (just remember to do it every time as it's not very big). Very happy we finally got her!

Very helpful for "disassemble stephney" ! One little hint I would offer : when putting the screws back in the "reverse to click" works well but always "start" all the screws before you tighten them makes alignment easier. Not sure this is the problem with mine (not charging) and my model does not use same dc connector on the unit as the charger. (Charger is ac cord jack only on my 770.) OBTW: If you think working on something with kitty's help is a pain try it with a 120 lb German Shepard in your face ! LOL And we have enough fur in our Roomba to build several cats! Great job & thanks!

Thank you sir! My Roomba is alive again because of you. I had no idea about the failsafe feature. Alternatively, instead of opening it all up, you can pour a spoonful of 99% alcohol down the DC jack to clear out any excess dust/debris. Attempt to swab up any dirt you can. Then see if it works! Worked for me after one rinse and dabbing up the excess with a swab

Thanks a lot my dear, I know this may sound silly but I didn't nitice the plugging part on the body of roomba before and my battery was totally dead in a way that it didn't have the ability to recognize the charging docking station although I kept it on it the whole night... But after half an hour of charging it directly to roomba (when u gave me the hint of the manual charging option) it worked and managed to get it working and going to the home-charging-dock.... Thanks a lot dear as I was worried to death of losing my iRobot Roomba ❤️

So far so good with this vacuum. kzbin.infoUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was a little concerned to find it seems to be all plastic, but the reviews were good, so I'm hoping for the best. Very easy to assemble Recommened, and only attachments I've used so far work well, and are easy to use. Doing a good job on the new carpet in my bedrooms and stairs. Works well on the hardwood on my main floor too. Reasonable weight and cord length. I already knew from an earlier review that it wouldn't fit under furniture, but I can use my Eufy for that, so no problem - the high traffic areas that need a stronger suction was really what I bought this for. If it continues as it's started, it will be a good buy and well worth the money. I have had two Shark Rocket stick vacs in the past that are super easy to use, but the motors just don't last well, even with scrupulous cleaning of the filters. I'm hoping for better with this Bissell.

Tear down and reassembly worked, I didn't even have to replace the charge port. I did test it with the multimeter tho. Just put the meter on beep mode and then test the three prongs on the connector. You should get continuity on two pins with it plugged in, and continuity on two different pins with an unplugged. In the end, I think the actual fix for mine was just cleaning the battery contacts - there is a tiny bit of battery crest. Nevertheless thanks for the video!

Something that does not make sense to me, that part you replaced has only 2 wires a red and black, the charging port has a positive and a neutral, or hot leg and neutral. So the male plug has a hot leg and neutral, this requires 2 wires, 1 for the hot leg and one for the neutral leg. For that port to open or close as describe That requires one side of power to be disrupted as you describe. So if you have the 2 parts before you and the meter, If you ohm the new part to see if its closed normally or open normally, then I would plug the charging cord into the port but ONLY with the 120 volt cord unplugged !! I suspect the charging port is low voltage? I know the chaging stands could not be live with 120 volts waiting for a dog to step on or a baby, so its probably 24 volts, just guessing it does not matter the theory's identical, my point is ohm the new part compared to the old "defective" part and see if its normally open or closed, and what the diagnosis is exactly.

First of all thank you so much! I have a Roomba i7 and after cleaning the surface and the back part (wheels and other back parts) immediately It started my problem! The problem was that when I pressed the home button it founded the base station but didn't stop to recharge again and it damaged the dock station! I started watching your video and opened edge brush, button tray piece,bumper and the front sensor! I really have yo tell you thank you so much again because more than twenty minutes I didn't know how to close the bumper and where!while I was watching your video! Also I figured out that the charging base doesn't have any problem because when I put the virtual wall in front of the Roomba it didn't stop and passed the wall and that's why I opened it! Now it works and it founded the dock charger and stop and charge normally and it stops in front of virtual wall! The only problem is the bumper and it said error number nine and the bumper is stuck and I think the screws are not tightly closed because I didn't have a Phillips head screwdriver! If your video didn't exist then I never could solve the problem and really I appreciate it! I was going crazy when the vacuum cleaner broke! Thank you for video again and I think this could be helpful for you and others too! As you said correct tools are always helpful. I did the same thing which you did on 9:28 and only I watched your video because I didn't know how to close the bumper

Thank you for this video!! Excellent job and tutorial. I will say to anyone trying this, before you do try the cleaning the jack port trick. I sprayed mine for a good 30 seconds with compressed air. I was shocked at how much dust came out of that port. I then used a paper towel rolled into a fine tip and dipped it in 100% rubbing alcohol (I didn’t have contact spray) as my 595 is over 10 years old and owes me nothing. I was losing my mind as I’ve tried so many times to make this thing connect to the dock and it wouldn’t. This did the trick and I was so overjoyed. I hadn’t used this vacuum for 4 years and I had neglected it pretty bad. The battery, filter and brush rolls were replaced today but then it wouldn’t dock! This video and the comments saved me from throwing this thing out in frustration even if I didn’t have to replace the port, so thank you for that and those in the comments who shared your tricks to get it to dock again! So happy!

Great video . I have a Red Rumbo. 500 series. No docking station but does have adapter which can plug in side. New battery ran fine until I need to charge and no power. Indicator light no go. Light on adapter shows power. Ran continuity test. Go on one contact but not the other. Opposite of your demo, If I replace with the same sensor do you think that will do the trick? Any safe way to charge the battery without inserting in Rumba? Thanks

Thank you very much for this great Roomba repair video. I followed along my 770 model. A few things were a little different, but overall it was easy because of this video. I taped the screws onto the plastic holes they came from instead of keeping track of them.

Thank you. This video saved my Roomba 561 and saved me from going insane trying to figure out what was wrong. Hey guys if your Roomba shows full charge but only runs for 5 minutes replacing the DC jack fixes the problem. $8 on eBAY.

Mine was doing the exact same thing and all that was wrong was some dirty charge sensors. Get a magic eraser and clean the two metal charge points on the charger and the two on the robot and it will connect as good as new.

Hi! Do you know if the Roomba is able to charge from the dock, but not from the side plug? My Roomba is dead, but I am getting more messages when it is on the dock. When I connect it, it keeps blinking in orange quickly. I have tried the reset procedure (stock + dock button), but it does not work: after a few hours "charging", the Roomba gives a charging message error (7). I am using a replacement li-ion battery (not original), it is almost discharged. I think the charger is not able to charge the battery. Thank you in advance for your help!

Try a search for 'roomba power jack' you'll probably get the plug and laptop ones but eventually you'll find it.. HEre's an example ebay link (yes he's charging more than 3$ but it was just the first one i found as i'm kind of in a rush today, if you keep looking you will probably find cheaper) www.ebay.com/itm/iRobot-Roomba-530-Series-Power-Port-Plug-In-585-595-620-650-770-780-790-/132220208928?hash=item1ec8f04720:g:NAYAAOSwwzhZOW0q

Friend, you don't have all the likes you deserve! I finally got one connector for roomba series 500 and 600 for 3€ on a japanese seller, which PCB connector wasn't compatible for my series 700... after splice it with my faulty connector, it finally worked like a charm!!!

Sometimes you can leave the screws in the holes while you take things apart. That way its easy to keep them in the correct location.

Wait what.....so it not charging on the dock can be caused by the wall charging port? O_o I keep getting a charging error 5 message. I got a replacement battery but it still does that. I am in the process of working with Newegg to getting it fixed cuz for some reason mine doesn't have the serial number sticker under the dirt collection tray -__-

Yes, becuase the bottom two metal charging squares are routed through the side wall charging slot, if one of thsoe two goes bad the other more than likely wont function. it's just how they designed it with these older models. I'm sorry about your error 5, i haven't received that, you will need to google that to fix it.

The bar you lift up on is a HANDLE, ALSO nice video as well . but i I have a question why is that piece the problem ? cause you can unplug the dock station and plug directly in to the Roomba itself does that also connect to the sensor feet that it detects the charge plates below ? cause lot of times that sensor you unscrewed is it gets a film layer of dust under it and the Roomba can not dock cause the IR signal is blocked . but the port you unplugged is for direct connection. I delt with fixing these things quite often that is why I wanted to ask was that connected to the charging system also ? thank you for the video the take down of it is always fun the face plate is usually two lock system and a plastic push bar is the best for that .

I have a problem seeing how this fix has anything to do with his so called docking and charging fix.. I do agree it should fix a no charge issue if you are direct charging without your docking station.. But to say this fixed a no charge issue on the docking station seems impossible to have anything to do with it not docking or charging on the docker.. Not seeing any voltage test while on docker or direct charge is the reason I beleave this will not fix a docker no charge problem..
