Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If your Hover-1 Nomad has major electrical issues, one of the gyroscope sensor boards may be damaged. You can follow this guide to remove and replace the two circuit boards in your Nomad. The circuit boards control the sensors, motors, lights, and speaker in the hoverboard.
For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your hoverboard. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.
