Trying to FIX a Faulty Hoverboard / Self Balancing Scooter

Hi, this 'trying to fix' video shows me attempting to fix a faulty self balancing scooter purchased from eBay for £53.
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.

Vince you inspire me to take everything apart. I even dismantled my mates life support machine the other day. Fortunately, the A&E staff had a spare and my mate saw the funny side.

[@Operational117]

That was rather dark. Don't get me wrong... I think it was funny, but some people may take this too seriously, or be otherwise offended by such dark jokes.

[@whiplash1317]

this shows how beneficial it is to understand a fair bit about electronics so if your on the receiving end of something like that your not screwed because you have no clue on whats wrong

[@80-hd77]

So my daughters hover board was out of whack on one side like it would Lean all the way around when she tried riding it. I thought it was broken but I recalibrated it like you were doing this one in the beginning and it FIXED IT! Thanks a lot!

[@SPEXWISE]

What a find for just £53 and such a simple fix. My daughter would love that cart attachment. I think I know what to get for her birthday, Thanks Vince.

[@rtrident4803]

I love these videos! Keep up the good work, Vince!

[@prebenfrank1355]

[@rtrident4803]

Ikr!

[@theepicadventuresinfinity9037]

Thank you this was very extremely helpful for me as well I just got a hover board today

[@TechWalker]

The cart went way faster than I expected

[@turnipgaming9747]

TechWalker i think those hover boards do about 10or 15 mph

[@gen157]

I guess when you don't have to worry about balance, you can go much faster without a problem.

[@dar5204]

Same here I had no idea they were that fast

[@koga924]

Right? I thought the kid was going to do an interdenominational jump with that speed!

[@agmills86]

That was a good result, looks fun on the cart as well

[@spooktasticaparanormal]

Wel done Vince and Ben woohoo what a cracking result.

The person who sold this thinking it was faulty an sold it for £53 must be wounding how easy it was to fix hahaha

[@customengravingsbyhuntersh657]

Wow! what a bargain! a mere 50 dollars for a connector that wasnt properly plugged in lol awesome, maybe i can get lucky and find one of these deals, ive always wanted one since im just under the weight limit :D havent seemed to gain any more weight and lose some hear and there, so if i could get a lucky deal like this it might be good :) take care vince!

[@_Talik]

i find it highly entertaining that it was fixed that fast. congrats on 500k subs

[@SPARKY832010]

that smart kart is beggin for u to mod a rubber wheel up front... lol have i planted a seed in your mind. oh and your son is very good kart driver

[@thevalkyriechannel4969]

Not the right way? Hell brother, the greatest minds didn't do it the right way lol. Love the content man, I watch daily.

[@Mymatevince]

Thanks man, I appreciate the comment and the views :-)

[@MadScientist267]

haha Nice... Gotta love it when it's something simple

[@zememes3259]

OMG THX IT WORKED UR A GOD

[@FredddH]

what is the type of connector to use on the hoverboard cables please? I would like to repair a broken cable without having to buy a card to have the cable. Thanks a lot

[@thetiredtechie2704]

Lucky you, an easy fix!

[@hawkkim1974]

that is a brilliant idea

[@k_80k]

How long does this scooter travel at 90 kg on one charge?

[@garrettcrabtree6419]

How did you get the cover off I have the same hoverboard the same problem and I unscrewed all of the screws and the cover won't come off still

[@sassgorilla990]

Omg that kart configuration looks fun as heck

[@Mymatevince]

It is great fun, such a simple idea :-)

[@nascarandjeff123]

This is something new! Moving on from game consoles, eh?

[@JohnnyRocker2050]

nascarandjeff123 yeah it's kinda cool. Not every game console channel has to be a game console video

[@Mashamazzi]

I think in the first "trying to fix" he said wanted to try fix everything

[@pdeaky]

Haha! Absolutely brilliant that!

[@Lucixir]

I have an issue with a board a friend asked me to look at that I cannot find information about anywhere yet you would think it to be quite common. My board has an issue when you stand on it, it moves forward or backwards even when in the "flat neutral" position that isnt supposed to move. Im working on the issue now and am very surprised I cant find any others having an issue like this. I'll figure it out eventually and will post what I found once I figure it out, but nothing on KZbin has helped at this point.

[@ashleysanchez3228]

How much voltage does this hover board need to charge ? Meaning what charger voltage ?

[@guhnungang8174]

Hi I know this is an old video but I was wondering if you knew where I can buy a controlling unit

[@dina_roberto]

i have the same problem , but when I opened the cover I found all wire connected . so I don't know what to do , still lighting red and the other green any advise please

[@OGLemon]

My nate Vince is the best youtuber

[@echodelta9]

The loose battery and wiring under the clamp and against just that shrink wrap oh my! That must have been one of those recalled units. In this case it just pulled the connector, no fire. Reroute the wires outside the bracket and take up the space under with rubber floor mat so it can't slide sideways. It fell on end in shipping no doubt.

[@jozsefvarga2009]

I have an issue with my segway since yesterday when i took the segwsay apart so i can get all the hair out of the wheels

[@bluelight456]

They go a lot faster than I thought they did. Cart attachment is just brilliant.

[@XxGreyShowsxX]

We had the same exact brand (Smart Balance Wheels) and it did the SAME exact thing and we ended up having to return it

[@alecblackburn9831]

I have an issue me and my step son were on his hover board yesterday it worked perfectly until I came to a lip in the ground and it cause the tires to spin in place then it turned off and wouldn’t come on unless it’s in the charger but even then it blinks green then red

[@polarishere2055]

vince can you fix some earfones ? Mine always stop working after a whille so i wanted to know if there is a simple fix.

[@olafdesneeuwman8983]

Not really possible as they're almost all glued together meaning that you can't put them back together. Unless you're abusing them, get a good quality pair. If you handle them with care they last years.

[@niranjanbiswas8480]

hi I have a hoverboard but I have some issue. the hoverboard red light is blinking 2 times please tall me how to solv this problem. thank you

[@hrsmanlam3351]

hi my friend i have hoverboard i want to fix it what can i do please can you help me and from where we can find the attached thanks

[@sav1196]

Does anyone know the metal thing in the center of the hoverboard like where it turns so i need a new one of those cuz the stick to make it turn both ways it bend idk how it did but i just need the name of it so i can fix it my own its the metal thing to make it turn left and right

[@bunasir394]

I have issue that when I drive after few minute it’s suddenly stopped working and its not turn on again I don’t know what caused this also I changed battery still not fix

[@SegaDisneyUniverse]

He was going pretty fast! How much weight can that thing even support?

[@jackom09090]

15ST-95.25KG-210LBS

[@melody3741]

I really want one of those karts.

[@TomMannCenturia]

Nifty little accessory for the balance board thingy.

[@pjones2]

So you can fix a board. Then you can fix a bike. And if you can fix a bike, then you can fix a car. If you can fix a car then you can learn to fix a Lynx MK8 Helicopter, a Pacific 24 Seaboat, a 4 1/2 inch Naval Gun, a Sampson Radar System or a Type 45 Destroyer. And when you can fix all that, you'll be a Royal Navy Engineer. Start your journey by subscribing to MyMate VINCE today !

[@Oschar157]

What's the power cable plug size

[@anthonyrobertson1787]

Awsome toy 👍

[@brunowillow5576]

I think this will help me to fix my hoverboard

[@FreakinKatGaming]

The billion dollar repair i swear. How many times ive gotten jobs where they just sound like catastrophes and expecting the worst i unscrew the casing and wires not plugged in, its like a sigh of relief but at the same time was hoping for a challenge

[@Blue-bf8lv]

Anyone know where to get a gyroscope for these

[@MackieStingray2040]

Wow that was so simple to "fix/repair". I enjoy taking apart and attempting to repair things as you do (though I'm worse =P ) I've already binged watch a ton of your videos in one day =X

[@ibtixgaming7168]

Damn your son is a pro at that

[@OliverMaastricht]

Youre so smart!

[@ahmedp800]
