This might sound kind of dumb, but I just wanted to see what y'all had to say.

I recently bought a broken onewheel XR with controller issues, so I ordered a replacement controller and slapped it in, but now the board is acting weird and not turning on.

This is an image of the replacement controller

And this is the broken controller I took out of the board

I realize they look different but I kind of assumed that if they are both meant for the XR that it shouuuuld work fine but I am now seeing that is not true. I was hoping if anyone here has any experience with these controllers if theres any way to get it to work for my board or any comment really

Thanks all!

@lemur Yeah you might be right that looks just like the replacement. Once I get back home I'll open it back up and check -- maybe I can get a refund if it turns out to be the wrong controller 😅

@lia Wow, this is amazing, thank you so much!

I've reached out to a few people and am making progress towards finding an open workshop where I'll be able to attempt this repair.

On a side note, where would you recommend I get the chip? I've found an ebay listing that seems somewhat sketchy but the seller top-chips has a lot of really good reviews. I couldn't find any other companies that seem to sell them non-wholesale, but I thought I'd ask.

Again thank you so much for your help, this is really incredible!!

Quick update for those interested-

I just tried the recalibration on the wonky board with no cigar, it actually ended up just messing up the roll somewhat, so I do think that the IMU on that board is toast.

Sooooo that kind of leaves me back at square one..... with no leads on new controllers.

However I am in college right now, so I may be able to find some workshop or something to help me replace the IMU - so if anyone has experience doing that tips or a guide would be very appreciated!!

@lemur Welp, it looks like you're right. The capacitors say 63v. I think i'll try recalibrating the original board tonight as you reccomended in the other feed.

this stinks!

@lia The guy said he is going to see his friend who sold them to him on sunday, so I will let you know then.

@loaffette It's a stock board, the guy had never opened it before I got it

I recently bought a slightly used XR off of craigslist with the seller stating issues with the self-balancing. I've taken the board apart and inspected the IMU however there was no obvious damage to it.

In the app when I turn the board on, it does actually show the pitch of the board, however when I have the board completely level it shows in the app it pointing nearly directly up. When I change the pitch of the board, it reacts in the app, just super far off from correct readings. What's even weirder is that the roll of the board is shown perfectly in the app with no issues.

Any ideas on what the problem might be? I'm debating just ordering a new controller to replace this one, but wanted to see what the people have to say.

Thanks all!
