Trying to FIX a Faulty Hoverboard / Self Balancing Scooter

[@Buckblacket]

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.

[@destinylegend8098]

WHY??????????

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@rtrident4803]

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

[@jesushope2421]

Can’t stop watching these videos

[@_Talik]

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

[@abelolof4809]

You don’t have to say that you are sorry for your feet everyone has feet.

[@CS-rk6fu]

i have a hoof ffs

[@jaybanner2905]

I have stilts

[@Gayestskijumpever]

Except Lt. Dan. He ain't got no legs.

[@timmatthews4595]

Been praying for another one of these trying to fix videos! :D

[@timmatthews4595]

Also we've got the same shoes! lmao

[@rtrident4803]

Ikr!

[@AlexKiraly]

I subscribed just for this series. Keep it up, really enjoying it!

[@Mymatevince]

Thanks :-)

[@jayw5619]

Awesome Vince, great spot there. You got a bargain, looks a lot of fun.

[@craiggilchrist4223]

Ebay Gold. Good find Pal. Nothing like the elation of a simple fix.

[@lewis589]

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

[@agmills86]

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

[@graemee7292]

Just came back from a campsite in Cornwall, a kid was whizzing round the whole estate on this (wide paths). My 3 kids all wanted a go, maybe next year

[@k_80k]

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

[@prebenfrank1355]

Love these trying to fix videos. keep em thumbelin in!

[@scootermartir]

قطعا زحمت کشیدی و واقعا بهت تبریک میگم من به عنوان یه همکار از صمیم قلب برات آرزوی موفقیت میکنم و امیدوارم کنار هم رشد کنیم و بترکونیم و بتونیم روزی که اصلا دور نیست به اهدافمون برسیم ممنون از وقتی که گذاشتی و این پست مفید رو طراحی کردی

[@LauriraYT]

Nice! Guess i know how to fix one more fault on hoverboards!

[@theepicadventuresinfinity9037]

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

[@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

[@brucejoseph8367]

Well done Vince you took a chance and came trumps.

[@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

[@guhnungang8174]

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

[@spooktasticaparanormal]

Wel done Vince and Ben woohoo what a cracking result.

[@Parknest]

You got lucky with that one. If only they were all that easy to fix.

[@j4mes785]

Great fixing stuff video as always

[@babiboib7]

+My Mate VINCE Superb work mate and your son proved the outcome of it👍splendid!!

[@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 :-)

[@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

[@ashleysanchez3228]

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

[@AL6S00740]

happy kid , happy dad all nice , keep up the good work mate :D

[@SegaDisneyUniverse]

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

[@jackom09090]

15ST-95.25KG-210LBS

[@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

[@bluelight456]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@thetiffyable]

Thanks! That first part of holding the button worked!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@NeedHelpChristchurch]

Thanks I was ready to strip the kids one down, after not getting round to it for the last 3 months. Lucky for me to find you video as it just needed alignment 😉 thanks

[@kalleboll7410]

what do a new one cost?

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@Onlykeyman]

You are awesome Vince

[@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

[@dlcgmers2675]

Damm That Looks Fun Im definitely going to purchase this

[@TomMannCenturia]

Nifty little accessory for the balance board thingy.

[@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

[@jesusismysavior8127]

This is so cool I was hoping it would work such a good dad always giving to the kids and such a easy fix good video

[@melihdalar]

Well done mate. Great bargain ! And thanks for demonstration Ben !! :)

[@Mymatevince]

Thanks mate :-)

[@auxny]

what kind of laptop is that? thanks!

[@michaelgreensmith3411]

Lmao

[@alansun2387]

its GPD pocket mini laptop.VINCE got a video about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJywfYqqirBmndU

[@josephnealescratchcards]

What a score and great video as always

[@jjc1359]

i have found the problem (havnt watched past 2:53 so i dont know if u alredy have) i have tried to attach a screen shot but it wont paste it so ill paste the URL and the part that you need to read: Red Light Flashing 5 Times - Replace Motor Problem: The hoverboard red light blinks 5 times when there is a problem with the internal motor on the battery side. This problem is accompanied by one or both sides of the hoverboard refusing to balance. Cause: The long side of the hall line is faulty. There could be a deviation in the pin, a broken hall line between the motherboard and the motor, motor wires are switched around, or there is a bad motor circuit board. Solution: The motor (inside of the wheel) on the battery side needs to be replaced. We recommend buying a replacement hoverboard motor from us and replacing the one on the battery side of your hoverboard. Motors themselves come fully assembled inside of a new wheel. URL:www.streetsaw.com/pages/hoverboard-red-light-flashing

[@tatianalovin306]

so does my hoverboard but I untied the wires are all connected yes it still doesn't work

[@Blue-bf8lv]

Anyone know where to get a gyroscope for these

[@alecjansen1335]

So my hoverboard looks almost identical on the inside, I double checked to make sure everything was connected but it still beeps and will not work. Calibration doesn’t work as holding the power button down does nothing

[@alecjansen1335]

Any ideas?

[@lufunojunior5948]

I fixed my hoverboard because of you thanks

[@xolisilethwala551]

I ordered a replacement battery but it still showing a orange battery light tried many times to reset it

[@thelinas4469]

That's amazing, Me too liked fixing some electronics.;)

[@parjacpar3077]

How the hell did you find it as want one The motors are over £30 each and ideal for eletric bike conversion(s) as well as generating eletricity as there 3 phase motors

[@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

[@blackmagic2319]

My wheel fell off what do I do this is expensive

[@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

[@laughlan22]

cables should be over the battery cage. vibration will cause the wires to fray and break

[@MadScientist267]

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

[@OGLemon]

My nate Vince is the best youtuber

[@Visible_2_anyone]

My hoverboard hard to rotate how to fix that

[@deathray0718]

did you know there is a second mode on that hoverboard? all you need to do to enable it is press the power button and when you hear the first beep quickly press it again and you enable sports mode on the hoverboard! : D

[@Mymatevince]

No, I didn't know this but once I get back from holiday I am definitely trying this out. Thanks for sharing the info :-)

[@PR0WN3D]

now I might be able to get my hover work to work because it does the same thing

[@blowersin5133]

Dude I need to ask, do you fix everything that you got faulty? Or just upload videos when you fix it

[@Mymatevince]

Hi, I upload all of them regardless if they are fixed or not because I want it to show real life. The Nintendo Switch in my latest video unfortunately couldn't be fixed :-)

[@theiareproduction]

Honestly this is the first video of something that is actually fixed, I've watched a few of them, but none of the items in the videos were you able to fix, I did enjoy watching you try though. But it's nice to see you succeed for a change, even if it's just reconnecting a cable.

[@fk80189]

Always try to repair Stuff because it sometimes can be that easy.

[@4ftofflame]

Wasn't there some big safety issue with these things bursting into flames? And then the laws meant that you're not allowed to use them on roads or pavements as well right? Meaning you can only really use them in your own house/garden

[@melody3741]

I really want one of those karts.

[@johnmilton2077]

thanks for making this video,very helpful!!

[@subigirlawd_7307]

Wow it goes pretty fast

[@scottfirman]

Goes to show you people are stupid now days and rather than try to repair things,they junk them or just give up and sell it cheap. Good for You! I get things given to me all the time or buy them cheap simply because of simular issues like that.

[@rkan2]

RC Hobbyist Extreme Meh, just shows that some people can earn more than what this is worth in the same duration as this video is.

[@chuckytu]

that was so cool you have good skills man good job

[@OVERKILLFPV]

I really like your videos mate.😁✌

[@t1zlr183]

One wheel keeps moving and then stops when I press the start button tried to recalibrate nothing worked!! Please help

[@yuh.kxyla15]

Mine is doing the same but with a red light and a beeping sound

[@jacobsinkamba388]

We're can I find you

[@HM024]

He is SCOOTIN on that thing haha pretty fast little board!

[@kenny_10190]

I actually have one of those and it is in perfect condition

[@skybiomes659]

Thanks so much for this i almost wanted to get a new one!

[@steenjansdorf6171]

GJ mate ;-) I'd scavenged one 10 '. After slamming for half a day (USE PROTECTION!!!) I'm an Evil Canivel. How ever, the Kart is neat! I do not dare to be to put the pedal to the medal. Integral helmet is STRONGLY advisable! Or I'd had NO face or jaw mates ;-)

[@ibtixgaming7168]

Damn your son is a pro at that

[@Ma7hiu5]

just out of curiosity what is your success rate in repairing faulty items ?

[@Mymatevince]

On gaming stuff it is quite low but on other items it is high. I think with gaming or anything which has a good resale market then it has probably been looked at many times by professionals and deemed economically not worth it. Then it gets dumped on eBay!!!!

[@Retro_Care]

well done, good price !!!

[@liamdempsey6648]

Vince love the new song look look 😂❤️😂

[@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

[@memelord1145]

Bro mine is doing the same thing but it doesn’t work without the charger plugged into it

[@hawkkim1974]

that is a brilliant idea

[@thetiredtechie2704]

Lucky you, an easy fix!
