Hi, this 'trying to fix' video shows me attempting to repair a robotic vacuum cleaner purchased from eBay. Apparently the fault is that it is not charging even when the battery was replaced.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series.
Many thanks, Vince.

The coating on the board is called conformal coating. The liquid damage would probably be a lot worse without it.

Nice fix! A Schottky Diode (pronounced Shot-key) as you said, has a lower voltage drop than other diodes. What that means is that when, say, 9 volts is passed through a typical silicon diode there will be a voltage drop of 0.6 to 0.7 Volts which results in a lower output voltage (after passing through the diode) of 8.3V to 8.4V whereas, with a Schottky diode the typical voltage drop would be between 0.3V to 0.4V and the output voltage would therefore be between 8.6V and 8.7V. Very important if the circuit requires diode protection but relies on a voltage of not much less than the original input voltage. Hope that makes sense.

Great video Vince. By the way, the "R"400 (I don't think that's an R), is likely a PTC/PPTC resettable fuse, or polyfuse, surface mount obviously. They usually have the dimples on both ends. Different manufacturers have different markings, but I'd say you have a 400mA one on your hands.

Great fix and would like to get your feelings in a later video about this vac. I think it is kinda a crap robot vacuum. It has no suction so it is depending on the bottom brush to fling the dirt into the bin in the back. The price I see it online for new you can get other vacs with a camera so it knows where it is and have an actual vacuum pump to do more then just sweep up surface dirt. I have watched to many VacuumWars videos on youtube so I think I know more then I do :)

It's a good idea to use a shottky diodes were there's supposed to be one. A normal diode will have a higher forward voltage drop, which will cause partial loss of power. In your case the (lost) diode acts as a reverse voltage protection.

Shot-key is how it sounds. Basicly a Schottkey diode has a greater barrier, higher surge current capabilaty, faster switching, less forward voltage drop than a Germanuin diode. Think along it, like the difference of a standard pnp npn transitor and a FeT.

L4 is a power inductor. Such a power inductor with Schottky diodes close to it is highly likely to be part of a buck or boost converter. Such converters rely on the high speed of Schottky devices (nearly no reverse recovery time). Don't go and replace those diodes with normal silicon diodes which are way too slow and will damage the converter (nearly instantly).

I've got the same issue, though my indicator light changes from blinking orange to still red. When I check voltages, the base provides 18.6V, so what's expected. Checking voltage on the pins of the battery connector on the Robovac itself however don't show that, but only 4Vish. Am I correct in assuming that the 18.6V from the base should also be on those pins which charge the battery, or is the charging done with a lower voltage?

the bit about diodes is simple: if you use a geranium diode with a forward voltage drop of 0.6 volt it is with a current of 3 amps P=UxI 0.6x3= 1.8 watts of heat. with a scottky diode with a forward voltage of 0.2 volt is ofc 0.2x3 = 0.6 watts so less heat to dissipate into the PCB. So, now for the fast recovery, simply said, imagine this: there is a guy in front of your door and you let him in, the taller the guy the more volt, the heavier the guy the more amps, the bigger legs, the quicker he is and the lighter, stronger the gate the faster you can close it behind him and more force of him hitting it the door can handle. So with a geranium diode, the door is large, made of simple OSB on an iron frame, it is big, heavy and takes a few seconds to close. 230v 50 hz no problem, the time the guy (230 V 5 Amps 50Hz) turns around the door is shut (simple bridge rectifier) now you get a guy bin trough a gate already, so 300v somewhat DC 1A 150Hz) so the guy is tall, light but he reacts pretty fast, so i need a gate that is light so i can close it fast, needs to be tall for him, but does not has to be strong. so aluminum with some plywood should be good. now comes switching voltage, like switching power supply's, 340 volt 10kHz 3 Amps. Now we get tall guy's who are heavy and fast as feck. now we need a diode what has a high current, fast recovery and is strong with reverse voltage. so a gate what is 3,4 meters tall, 3 meters wide, but can close in a few microseconds after they past the gate. Also, remember with witch each bang to a gate a bit of heat is generated . I hope my real simple explanation of diodes helps a bit.

Hi Vince, such an entertaining video thank you! That big black component marked R 400 (around 33:35 ) is a current sensing resistor. It is a special kind of 1ohm resistor with a high power rating (hence its size). In this case it is being used as a reference to be able to provide feedback to the microcontroller about how much charge is left in the battery. ( By knowing the Resistance of the reference - 1 ohm - and by reading a current value - Ohms law you can be used to calculate the voltage of the battery pack. Great video! would love to see more repairs like this one!

Vince , As you buy mostly from Ebay ,surch for "SMD sample book" you have them for resistors and caps and diodes" You will always have the most common spare smd parts for a reasonable price to do your testing. Can find them cheaper on Ali if you want. just buy what you think need the most and buy it and the next month you can buy the caps book ond so on .they don't take much space and you always have something that fit. And buy the 0805 ,these are the most common size ,and if you have to replace a 0605 you can mostly fit a 0805 and the other way to ,if it is a bigger size . If it works you can always buy a correct size part or leave it in. Nice video again.

Fanastic job! Awesome pickup!!! To pull a current through that PSU (see my Neo Geo AES PSU repair - the most recent one). Using ohms law you can calculate a resistor size (ohm and wattage) and connect it up to draw whatever current you want to pull. That shiny-ness is a conformal coating! It's pronounced "Shot-key" - I always struggle with that too lol, I bloomin well call em Scotty diodes :o) That diode is going to be there for reverse polarity protection (probably). Uprating it as you suggest (assuming it was the lower rated part originally) will likely be fine. As you saw schottky diodes switch faster (that's useful when you want to protect parts of a circuit or get a quicker response to the signal going through it. And the lower forward voltage drop is simple - Take a 1N4001 diode for example, I think that has a 0.7v drop, so if you feed say 5v into its anode, on the cathode side you will measure 4.3v. (it drops by that amount). On schottky diodes its typically less, eg. 0.6v, 0.3v or even 0.15v (like the diodes I often use for CR-2032 mods where NiCads were originally used). It will make little difference to something like the area this is used on this vaccuum.

It's pronounced Shot Key, and the forward voltage (VF) is how much the voltage drops by when conducting, same as LEDs, so 0.6V VF means i you have a ~5V supply with a diode it will be ~4.4V at the other side of the diode. It is better to overrate the diode current than underrate it if it used as reverse polarity protection, there should (in good practice) be a fuse that will catch any overcurrent. Oh and the waterproof layer over the board is called conformal coating usually an acryllic protective layer to stop water ingress, or supposed to, not sure what happened to that board.

"shot key" diode is used because its fast. it'll block reverse current fast enough to protect sensitive microprocessors and such down stream. the low forward voltage drop just means in the way you would expect current to flow, there isn't much drop across the device.

Agreed with schotkey description....add....the forward voltage you measured was 0.2 volts hence low forward voltage. A standard diode will have a voltage drop somewhere between 0.6 to 0.4 volts.

reverse voltage usually means if something fails in the circuit, then it won't allow the voltage polarity to be reversed, and send a massive shock to the other components. or say the wrong polarity power supply is used, then it won't send power to anything before that point. and 1,000v means most power supplys on the market won't short circuit anything in the circuit from the diode to the battery seen as so close to the battery terminal. and the more voltage the diode is good for the less likely it is to allow the current to be reversed or blow the diode. at least that is my understanding on reverse current resistance.

but at the same time you don't want the reverse diode to be too high because of heat disapation.

R147 is most likely a current shunt, a low-value, high power resistor that allows the vacuum to measure the current

Hi Vince, just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to fix my own robotic vacuum cleaner. Wasn't anything near as difficult as yours as all I did was replace the battery (and soldered the correct connector on the new battery) but still, it's fixed. Thanks!

I had one of these briefly. It did clean very well, but I needed a vacuum with home mapping so I returned it and got a Roborock S6. The bouncing all over the place would be fine in a smaller house, but would probably never get everywhere in a larger home. It does start to go home when the battery is low and slows down the brushes, but it has no idea where home is until it makes a pass in front of the charger so it could still go off in the wrong direction for a while. I suppose it has enough battery power to make it in most cases if it's not too far away.

if the battery voltage falls under a certain voltage , the charge circruit will plainly not charge happens to dashcams , phones and all sorts of devices , even gopro cameras u can charge the battery on a bench supply , just follow the voltages on the battery itself (in this case a 4 cell series = 14.4v )

Bang and Olafson were the dogs danglies once upon a time, as a kid we had this huge B&O black and white BeoVision and it was all curvy edges and funky push buttons and had a very early IR remote. BeoCentre's were the best of the lot too, the one I had you had remote speakers in every room and a little thing clipped to your belt and as you walked into a room the music would fade from the other room and increase in the room you were going into and each speaker acting as a relay for your remote sending back to the main unit. I even had a speaker in the loo as nothing like a bit of Who in the loo hehe

you really need to put a proper diode in place of that 5408. One you took is part of local power supply, probably for 5V rail. You can see how unstable that rail is just by watching shimmering of power LED. Same rail is probably used by microcontrollers, wifi and so on so you can expect problems in work and maybe even some damage on them.

you can charge a 18650 safely with a power supply if you set it to nr of cells * 4.1V. its 4.2 max but to keep it a bit on the safe side. Additionally, you can limit the current to 0.5A
