Hover-1 Charger Gyroscope Sensor Board Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

If you are having trouble balancing on your Hover-1 Charger (H1-COL), there may be an issue with its gyroscope sensor boards. Before you begin disassembling your hoverboard, check out our troubleshooting page addressing hoverboard balancing. If the problem persists, this guide will help you replace your hoverboard’s right gyroscope sensor board. Removal of the left gyroscope sensor board will follow very similar steps.

Make sure to wear an anti-static wrist strap to protect the electronics against buildup of static electricity. Some screw housings are fragile; they may fall apart when the screw is removed.
