Hey Yoli. Thanks for the info!!!Yoli wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 2:38 amFor the below 3 quoted people, you guys are basically reporting this issue:
I've confirmed it's the board by trying out an entirely different battery pack, a different headlight, different top handlebar entirely. And by swapping out the board. The defective board will make any other M365 have the same issue. And replacing the board fixes the issue.

Came across a conversion kit on eBay to turn Bird's Xiaomi MIJIA M365 scooter into a personal unit. The expected delivery date is longer than I'd like, Nov 5 - 15th. Fingers crossed this works.
Be on the lookout for a full review once it shows up.

Note: Some eBay sellers are shipping reproduction Circuit Boards. Some users have reported issues pairing the scooter to the Mi Home App when using these boards. Refer to this post to see how to tell a real from a fake. Big thanks to @wu wear for figuring this out.

I'm assuming bird was looking for them, so I took apart the dash and removed the board with the sim card. 2 days later my first new control board showed up, so I plugged it all in. Seemed pretty simple, everything was color coded so no way to screw it up. All together and it does nothing. No lights, no beeps, no nothing. Made sure battery was charged, unplugged it for a minute and back in, and still its a brick. No lights on the handlebar control board. Any suggestions or did I get a junk control board? I ordered 2 different ones for both scooters just in case this happened
Hi human being, I checked through the first few pages of this thread and was unable to find this step by step, am I blind or is it else where?

I still have some cosmetic work to do and will post a step by step guide on how to do this. Will probably have time to get to it over the weekend.
I've only driven the scooter up and down the street to test that it worked. Haven't had an opportunity to explore the app yet.
