Xiaomi Roborock S50 | LDS Error 1 | LDS Stopped Working | LDS Error Fixed - TOTAL TECH

[@atretyakov738]

Our roborock suddenly stopped working and I started googling the solution to the problem.. However, videos in Russian (I am from Russia) suggested replacing the LDS - as if it was the only way out and nothing else could help. But your video is pure magic!!!!!! I did everything according to the instruction and the cleaner came back to life!!! I can't believe it's so simple. Thanks so much!!!

[@PisarencoGh]

That did the trick. I bought a new motor from AliExpress then after an hour watched your video :D.

[@tinasis]

Amazing! This worked like a charm. I first used lightning USB cable but it did not work but when I used micro USB cable it worked. Your video helped a lot! Thanks!

you are a genius man, you deserve every like you get

[@mlegge]

Excellent video - and it worked for me - I don't know why running the motor for 30 seconds cured the problem, but it did!

[@fro_oo_oo]

Thank you for sharing! It worked on the first attempt. People... to disassemble Roborock S50 upper lid, you have to force a little bit (pull up the fixed lid part). Don't be afraid...you (probably) won't broke it :-D (May I suggest that you lower the volume of the music? It cover your voice sometimes) 👌

[@totaltech-allaboutgadgetsa9732]

Will keep your suggestions in mind for my next video. Good to hear it's working for you

[@commandmediacorps]

*Difficulty 2/10*: Worked exactly as described, w/ older mini usb, red & black cables only. Tried to plugin to wall via adaptor and didn't work. After reattaching the wires, plugged to laptop, it worked! *ANYONE* with a small phone / laptop repair kit can do this. Tip: strip quite a bit of of the red / black insulation casing from the cables, so you've got plenty of slack. The only thing that has happened out of the ordinary, just prior to this LDS error 1, is that when the vac didn't get placed on the charger properly and caused the battery to totally drain. Even though, I recharged before using, seems something changed. How's that for anecdotal? Thank you very much taking the time to show us how to fix, saving us a lot of money. Cheers!

[@dani_m]

Worked on my Roborock S55! I used an old micro USB cable and worked at the first attempt! Thanks!

[@abdulrahmankhankan1919]

My unit's laser sensor was not moving and this fixed the problem perfectly! Thanks.

[@kvsandro]

Thanks man, this really does work......... I have no idea why, but it does. Soldered 2 wires to the motor, and first tried hooking it to an USB power adapter as I didn't want to risk a PC/Laptop, however although the motor worked - it did not work when I put it back in the unit. Then I hooked it to the front USB on my PC, and after another test - it worked inside the roborock unit as well. Damn.

[@swissinvestor7948]

Thank you this indeed solved the issue without replacing the whole LDS unit!

[@LucKaSingHo]

Thanks from Switzerland, worked for me! I just was able to let it turn like half a second because the battery I had was almost empty

[@totaltech-allaboutgadgetsa9732]

Glad it helped!

[@frostouze]

Worked the first time I tried, amazing solution!

[@cristian6402-t8y]

Awesome. It does work. I tried removing and putting back the sensor head multiple times and after every time, it did work, for about 5 minutes, then again it stoped working. Then I tried THIS IN THE VIDEO, and IT WORKED !!!!!

[@skgoh1988]

thanks man. your method is working on my issue. During start up my sensor motor turn a little while then stop, I was curious whether the motor spoil or what till found your video! thumbs up for the test.

[@raffa202]

Danke hat wirklich funktioniert. Schon seltsam das Problem. Aber solange man sich damit Abhilfe beschaffen kann. Danke.

[@Anavaleria63]

Fiz exatamente isso e meu Roborock S50 voltou a funcionar perfeitamente, thank you!

[@DCFC1200]

If you had only had the cleaner 3 months before it gave you trouble , were you not covered by manufacturers warranty ?

[@totaltech-allaboutgadgetsa9732]

In fact yes, it was under warranty then. But the problem is that I ordered it from Gearbest in UK and got it shipped from China to an US address and had it delivered to India. So, for all the practical reasons that I cannot ship it back to UK or China and there is no service available in India, I had no choice but to look out for such an alternative.

[@kieranv]

Thankyou for posting this video, very helpful. The stripped usb cable to laptop was an easy way to charge the motor. The vacuum is cleaning the house now. I'll update if it stops working again in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed its all good...

[@kieranv]

It lasted about a week before stopped again. I used the same repair a few more times while waiting for a new motor in the post. Now replaced motor and it's not had any more problems. Helpful video but for me a temporary fix.

Hello! If my motor/laser sensor is already spinning, but still says Error 1, do i still need to jump start the motor?

[@Fatomse]

Thank you very much! Worked perfectly fine.

[@totaltech-allaboutgadgetsa9732]

[@Mellymaus88]

Thank you so much it worked. If this happens again would you buy a new motor or laser? Thank you for your help.

[@totaltech-allaboutgadgetsa9732]

The laser, thought a little high in price compared to motor. Bcoz LDS motor is not working all ways as Serene Teng commented above and I heard from few others. But you can still try.

[@blade243736]

I need a guidance how to change the laser of roborock S5 Max, do u have any experience ? I need that urgent, tx in adv

[@totaltech-allaboutgadgetsa9732]

Sorry for the late response and wish you found out the solution. But have you looked at this video on repairing LDS Error 1? Changing laser of Roborock S5 is similar to this.

[@vicever08]

It did not last for me. I fixed it eventually, by drop a few drops of oil on the brass bearing of LSD driving motor. I tried to restart it by driving it with 6V dc supply, but it only worked for a few minutes. After adding oil, it worked for 4 hours already and a new motor is on the way.

This happens due to fluctuations in electricity from the power source, usually. This solution will help the roborock LDS sensor to run with no issues, until the voltage fluctuations hit again.

Thanks for your comment. Obsolescence is inevitable with every electronic product, just that we are not sure when. People would not choose to upgrade/buy if the same product/spares works forever and thats how they run their businesses, I believe.
