Dyson v8: Not working - 3 blue light on

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 13:45:28 -0700

Hi,

my Dyson v8 is not working. At first I thought it was a battery, but when I press the power button, the 3 blue lights come on (not just one - a weak battery indicator). But the cleaner doesn't work. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks.

Samsung Jet Bot VR30T80313W: Battery won't charge.

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 07:41:37 -0700

So I just got my robot vacuum back after lending it to my brother.

Turned out it stopped working a while ago.

When I got it back I started to diagnose it.

The first thing I noticed was, when it's docked in the charginstation, it turns on and I can adopt it into the smart things app. The battery read 0% and no matter how long it charges it wouldn't go up.

So I started by disassembling the battery down to its individual cells. Turned out 5 out if 6 cells were completely dead (absolute 0 volts).

So I ordered some new cells and put the battery back together. The battery now shows 21,7 volts. But it still doesn't want to run outside the chargingstation.

When I use a multimeter on the battery, while it's connected to the chargingstation it shows about 25 volts on d+ to d- (the plugs from the vacuum to the PCB on the battery). And still 21,7 volts on b+ to b- (the spot welded tin to the battery). It has now charged for about 2 hours and it's still about 37% charged (so not getting charged).

I've tried to put the PCB under an thermal camera to see if anything gets hot, but it doesn't. Even with it plugged into the chargingstation, without the chargingstation or it disconnected from the robot. I've also tried to connect 21 volts 1 a with a powersupply connected both on d+ to d- and on b+ to b-, yet nothing gets hot.

Anyone have any idea on how I could fix this?

I'm pretty new to this stuff, but I do watch some youtubers like NorthridgeFix and TronicFix so I have some general idea.

Should I disconnect the cells again and maybe try injecting voltage over some of the chips on the PCB or check the resistance on some of the caps? If so i would love some guidence. I don't have a chip programmer yet, but I will order one sooner or later, if needed.

Stick Vacuum: I have an Electrolux Ergorapido that won't charge

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 17:15:38 -0700

my Electrolux ergorapido was working brilliantly but the last time I put it back on charge, it flashes red as it's supposed to while charging, but never gets to green (charged). It won't turn on at all so there's no charge in it at all. Any ideas?

Hello, my Dyson v7 motorhead isn’t charging. After pressing the button to use it, the vacuum would flash a red light at the bottom for a short while before shutting off. The same happens upon plugging it in. Does anyone know what is going on, if so how do you fix it?

Roborock Qrevo S: roborock Qrevo S Robot Lidar error. Check that the turret turns freely

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 19:28:47 -0700

Does anyone have a guide on how to disassemble the Qrevo S?

Context:

My robot hasn't hit the year mark and yet he doth betray me with the Lidar error. I tried spinning the lidar with a cotton swab a few (15) times (it turns just fine), cleaning the area with a toothpick and vacuum, moving it, soft resetting it, hard resetting it and now I'm at a loss.

I followed this guide initially, but unfortunately it doesn't get me all the way to the turret motor in my model: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/commen...

I have tried YouTube, google and am a hair's breadth away setting fire to my poor tool kit.

Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

Dyson SV25: Do you have a battery for an older model SV25 handheld? SN U1C...

I need a replacement battery for a Dyson handheld stick vacuum identified as SV25. It may be an older model with the "star" type filter and a s/n starting with U1C. Your SV10 battery is supposedly not compatible. Thanks?
