@aiden1983 At this point I cannot give you any good advice, just guessing.
Just be aware throwing parts at it may not be cost effective and may cause a massive short that can cause a fire, ask me how I know.
I always plug in the battery outside after a repair.
Maybe look for a working Pint controller circuit board instead. Sorry.

@ikaruspint The conformal coating is soft and is easily removed with a toothpick, not use metal tools.
The discolored coating is normal as the conformal coating goes cloudy under heat especially at the Xt60 solder points.
Use a heat station for smd component removal, the solder on most factory circuit boards is non lead and reqiues more heat than leades solder.

@compo Hi! I have the same issue. Same noise. No charging, no powering on. Dead. Have you had any luck repairing?
Only 600 miles on this Pint X. Already replaced control module 120 miles ago. So disappointing. Getting frustrated with this thing.

My onewheel plus started showing 4.2 at full charge instead of 3.6 for the lifepo on only one cell. This gave me some reassurance that the BMS is just false reporting after a certain voltage because i notice it does fine all the way till around 3.6 than cell group 1 just skyrockets to the high 4s which would most likely have exploded the battery several times over if it were true as ive only just noticed and have been charging it to 58.4v for years. Im not as skilled as you so im just gonna leave it as is, overcharge warning has only shut the board off on me one time and never while riding, only when i came to a full stop after running downhill. Thanks for the write up!

@ando also just broke c11 capacitor while pulling out massive plug

@lia
Lovely. Thanks. 👍
I have found some other ones too. Once I tackle it I'll confirm what works best.
Fingers crossed 😉

@jordan5100 -- Hi. Simple things first: My guess is you've already ruled out fender rubs or nubs under the fender; made sure the bolts holding the wheel to the rails are torqued evenly each/both sides; and checked for tyre irregularities.

Personally, not being sure of myself opening up the motor, if it was mine I'd probably trade out the whole motor for another. If you are adventuresome -- you could part the stator and hub, and you could probably find a stator (or hub) to remedy the problem. Or, once open, the source of the noise might then be clear, and a solution will work its way into your head (and hands).

Again, though, I'm more of a Onewheel rider than a technician of Onewheel insides, and to me, to minimize board down time I'd swap out motors for one kept in my reserve jumble of parts for just this kind of situation.

Others in the OWForum here are more detail oriented!

@cjbguam Not dumb at all :)

Assuming U17 on the controller side is broken then an Owie chip won't change anything sadly.

If you need someone to take a look at this Justin over at https://www.fixmypev.com/ has dealt with some of these in the past and offers repair so in the worst case he should be able to perform a repair.

@lia I totally understand! No worries about the address. I wouldn’t mind meeting up at a restaurant or coffee shop near your place, or I could even leave the board with you if that works better. Maybe we could chat somewhere privately, like Messenger or something, to sort out the details. And of course, I understand there’ll be a cost for the repair.

Let me know if that sounds good to you!

@pigeon Just checked the returns page for them. Must have been under 30 days for my friend as they'll take it back and handle it then. Otherwise it's back to the company :/

Stoke Solutions is the only one I'm aware of but I've heard mixed reviews as of late. Onewheel are selling parts now though so give them a poke as they may be able to diagnose and ship out a replacement part under warranty.

If all else fails if you're near Towcester I could take a look.

@lemur amazing!! Thank you!!

@weno66 Picture posted in one of your requests.

@weno66 I had a diagram somewhere, I'll try to find it.

@edgeaholic said in onewheel pint flashing red light because i upgrade it with a chi battery how can i downgrade or fix:

how can i downgrade or fix

count the flashes, google that error code number, and that will tell you roughly how boned you are.

@loaffette i got the email the other day about their Pint batteries. Mine are still doing fine, but i admit i was tempted to get one just as a backup....

Thanks I will give OWCE a go. If not possible, i may open her up and see if i can get cell voltages. I got it 2nd hand. FM says to mail it in for an RMA after looking at the diagnostics info before and after a 12hr charge (I suspect a cell was out of balance, hence why they instructed me to charge for 12 hr) I asked, but they did not say if a battery replacement would be needed (I rather do myself and upgrade).

Happend to me too. Ask for a picture of the Diagnosis in the Onewheel app. The name probably says ow999999. Mine worked still fine after that bug except a few things. Stuff like day streak or total miles wouldn’t update after that.
