If you’re a hoverboard enthusiast, you’ve probably encountered the dreaded “beeping” issue.
When your hoverboard gets wet and starts beeping, it can be very frustrating.
Luckily, there are a few things you can do to fix this problem before reaching out for professional assistance.
Read on for our top tips for fixing your wet hoverboard and stopping that incessant beeping.
Unplug It
The first step is to unplug your hoverboard and let it dry out completely before attempting any further repairs.
This will help reduce the chances of any additional damage occurring due to moisture or electrical shock.
Wipe Down Components
After unplugging your board, use an antiseptic wipe or damp cloth to clean any affected components on the board including the battery compartment, wheels and bearings, and motors.
Once everything is clean and dry, plug your board back in and see if it stops beeping.
Check Speed Settings
If cleaning doesn’t work, try checking the speed settings on your remote controller by pressing the power button twice quickly until you hear a beep (this should reset all speed settings).
If that still doesn’t work, try gently tapping off the board (not too hard!) with a hammer or other blunt object until it stops beeping.
Reach Out for Professional Assistance
In some cases, you may need to reach out for professional assistance as further repairs may require expertise and specialized tools or parts not available to everyday users of hoverboards.
Before doing so, make sure you check if your board is still under warranty as this may save you time and money in the long run!
