My onewheel GT wont "start" after bearing change, what did i do wrong?

@onesweedwheel Hiya,
Sorry to hear the board isn't working :( When you say it won't start is it powering on but not allowing you to balance or does it just not power on at all?
If it does turn on you can connect to the app and see if it gives any error codes.
@onesweedwheel Check your motor and footpad connectors going in to the controller, they may not be pushed in far enough and not locked in.
@onesweedwheel I would jo go and re-plug everything back in, and just do a general look-over of the board. Unusually, something might not have been plugged in all the way
Also see if your battery box is plugged in too if that helps. Might have come loose or come.unplugged during disassembly
113 volts?! I could lick that!
@onesweedwheel Hiya,

Hey & thnks everybody for replying.
I try to attach video below.
I have tried to do everything once more & make sure everythong is in rightplace and plugged in correctly, did i still do something wrong or did i damage something when i swaped bearings..this is so frustrating, i live in sweden & the amount of time and money it would cost med to send it to futuremotion is not an option :(

lMy board, this is how it sounds when trying to ride

@onesweedwheel Since you had to remove the stator to do a bearing change, perhaps the motor harness got damaged where it comes out of the axle or the hall sensor circuit board got damaged?
That is what i did believe at first, i cant se any damage on it but one of the cables looks "bend". What do you beleive, it looks like all of them are connected, image below.
Thank

@onesweedwheel The circuit board looks good, I can't see any cuts on the harness where it bends, so that just leaves the connector pins. Are all the small pins intact?
Sorry, what do you mean with "without load"?
@onesweedwheel Holding it up in the air and pressing on the front footpad (Both zones.)
basically just get the wheel off of the ground and activate it.
113 volts?! I could lick that!
Yup, that what I meant. Without rider's weight on top of the board.
Some ways to test it is on top of 'milk crate' or on top of your knees while you sit well - to sense unusual vibrations, clicks etc.
@onesweedwheel from the sounds of your video it seems like motor does some tremendous efforts to engage before loud beep comes up. If (by some raw chance) there exists any physical resistance that only appears under the load, you don't wanna repeat that mount/dismount test too often until you know the cause.
I will try this later today. I will post test/result as soon as om at home later tonight.
Thanks / J

From what i can se, i guess i have to separate everything soon again so i will have a closer look and take better pecure! Thanks for helping :)

@onesweedwheel thats...
terrifying
@onesweedwheel It only wanted to rotate once you go it going which makes me wonder if a phase is missing.
Do you have a multimeter that can measure resistance?
If so turn off the board and unplug the motor connector. On the motor side of the cable measure resistance between each of the 3 large contacts. They all should measure something and be similar. Measure A and B, B and C and C and A (the labels don't matter, but just measuring between each to check).
If that all checks out plug the motor back in and turn on the board. Slowly rotate the wheel by hand and look at the lights on the front. If it flickers to red even when you're rotating it forward that will suggest a failure with the hall sensors or wires for it.
