Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:12:03 -0700

Hello

I was cleaning and Roomba together. When I was done I was left with some bar linkages like for suspension. Now when it runs it is leaning on one side. I can't find and pictures or schematics of Roomba so I can put it in its place. Help please.

iRobot Roomba 677: My Roomba Ibot vac will not charge

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 17:01:18 -0700

HOW DO I MAKE THIS QUESTION STAND OUT MORE.

i did not realize that the unit had to have a battery. mine ran down and i ordered a new battery. i have also replaced all brushes and brush guard. when the new battery came in, i charged it for 2 days. it will not charge.

i also have a 690 unit and have used the charger for the 677 and it does charge so i know that the charging unit is not the problem. it lights up when i try to charge the 677 unit.

i ordered a second new battery. let it charge for 2 days and it still will not charge. contacts are clean and look new. i am an older woman and have to use my ibots to clean. i can not afford a new one and roomba website is useless to help me. please tell me what can possibly be wrong.

iRobot Roomba i7 Plus: Why is my iRobot always saying to put the bin back in the station?

Mon, 13 May 2024 22:15:38 -0700

I already send my iRobot roomba 7+ back to iRoomba for reparations 2 times. But the problem is still not fixed. I always get the fault code “put the bin back in de roomba. I think it is a connection problem, because I already bought 2 other bins. And I keep getting the fault code . My roomba is not working. I cleaned it a thousands time. And the bin is in the roomba (the round think). I don’t get it. Sending it back to roomba don’t seem as an option as they did not fix it. And now my guaranty is finished. Thanks for the info or letting me know what I can do or where I can go to fix it. I live in Belgium.

Kind regards

iRobot Roomba 890: Why isn’t my Roomba charging?

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 21:47:28 -0700

I have a model 890 room a it hasn’t been used in over a year because it was in storage now I can’t get the battery to charge. Before I buy a new battery I wanted to make sure the charger was working. When I plug it in the green light on top comes on but as soon as I put the room a on it the green light goes off and stays off until I unplug the charger and plug it back in. Is this a issue with the charger or a safeguard because the battery is worthless now?

iRobot Roomba 770: Stripped screw of battery compartment

Sat, 02 Sep 2023 07:41:35 -0700

The battery compartment of the Roomba 770 has two screws. One of the two screws is completely stripped.

There is no remainder of the original drive slots. I tried putting some rubber sheet between the screw head and the screwdriver tip to increase traction, no result.

I want to access the battery compartment to put in the new battery I bought, as the screw is stripped I have no means of opening it. Everything else is intact. Can I somehow work my way around this? How can I remove the stripped screw? If necessary to buy addtional tools: I do not have much budget for this project.

Tools I own:

BLACK+DECKER Li2000 3.6-Volt 3 Position Rechargeable Screwdriver

Black & Decker 71-081 Double Ended Screwdriving Bit Set, 10-Piece
