Hey guys, first post here but have been lurking for a while.
As the title says, I have been using a Bird Zero wheel successfully for over a month when suddenly this happened. I think it was because it overcharged a bit. M365tools said it was at 100% but it kept charging so I let it, but custom firmware may have allowed it to go too far. I rode it right after and that combined with the ride overheated the mainboard and did what you see here:
It suddenly died while riding and now applies the brake with the throttle. Another user had this same exact experience with a zero wheel but that happened immediately.
The actual components of the board look completely fine so I will attempt to fix it with a jumper wire, which may also strengthen the connection better than factory. If I am unable to repair it, does someone have a spare? I don't trust the knockoff boards on ebay using a Zero wheel. Thanks.
