If you’re wondering what to do when your hoverboard won’t turn off, this will help! It’s all about the little reset button! Don’t worry, it’s really easy to fix this problem and won’t take too long.
Follow the steps below and you’ll be up and running in no time! You’ll need a paperclip or something similar that can reach the tiny button on the circuit board inside your hoverboard and hold it down for at least 10 seconds.
I also did this and it worked for me. However, other fixes are also tried by me personally. It worked most of the time.
Check Out the Battery
In case your device won’t turn off, first ensure that it has enough charge by plugging it in and turning it on. If your hoverboard doesn’t turn on when plugged in, try unplugging and re-plugging in until you see a blue light.
If you still have issues, move on to step two. Most likely, your battery needs to be replaced or recharged; do so at a certified service center.
Reset The Software
If your hoverboard is on and you can’t turn it off, resetting its software will help. The process varies by manufacturer and model, but if you have a brand-name device that offers a factory reset feature (or something similar), use it.
You’ll probably find it under advanced settings in your hoverboard’s companion app or online account. When done properly, a factory reset will keep all of your personal data intact while wiping out any customizations that were made by previous owners.
If you don’t see a factory reset option in an app or online account, some manufacturers will still provide technical support over email to walk you through doing one yourself; consult their website for details.
Disconnect, Remove and Recharge
First, try to disconnect and remove your hoverboard. Give it a few hours to discharge and then put it back on its charger to let it charge up again. If that doesn’t work, you might need to buy a new battery.
However, it could also be a more serious issue with your device. In that case, you’ll have to seek out professional help from an electrician or other specialist.
Finally, if none of these solutions works for you, it may just be time to say goodbye. It is likely not worth paying someone else to fix something that costs as much as a car so take some time and think about whether or not buying another one is actually worth it.
Try a New Charger
If your hoverboard won’t turn off, there could be a simple explanation: You might just need to charge it. How long should you charge it?
Some manufacturers recommend charging for one or two hours, but if your hoverboard won’t turn off after that time period, then you may need to replace your charger with a new one.
If you notice any fraying or signs of damage on either end of your charger cord, consider purchasing a new one.
To replace it, take out the old charger from its port and plug in your new one. You can buy an entirely new charger or just an extra cord that has USB ports on each end.
Take The Unit Apart
You may have to take apart your hoverboard before you can figure out why it’s not turning off. This is a dangerous task, so be careful and wear safety glasses. If there are any screws on your unit, take them out; if not, try to pop out pieces with a flat head screwdriver.
Once you get inside of your hoverboard, look for damaged or broken wires and replace them if necessary. If none of that works, it’s possible that your battery is shot; try finding a new battery online or at an electronics store near you.
If all else fails and you don’t know what to do next, stop riding and toss your hoverboard away as fast as possible—you never know when it might catch fire!
Send in for Repair
If your hoverboard suddenly stops working, it might be a faulty battery. While some manufacturers will replace a faulty battery, you’ll need to contact them to find out their terms.
If they aren’t willing to replace it for free (most won’t), you’ll need to send in your device for repair. This is where you may get hit with a service fee (especially if it was purchased from an unauthorized dealer).
