    Hello, I fell in my hands a skateboard type "Hoverboard", which has one side completely dead :(
    At 90% it is the fault of the gyroscope module (it occurs one per side) because after changing the positions, only the side with the damaged module is always deaf.
    The board starts and releases from 3 tons, reacts to pressing the footrest on the "functional" side by pumping and lighting only on one side of the side, of course, the engines do not react: / The other side does not react. After some time, the board begins to pace regularly (error).

    The problem is that I can not find a substitute at all, I had a different gyroscope module that was supposed to be universal, but unfortunately it does not work with this model. Maybe you'll lead me where I can look for this tile?
    Or maybe one of you has something like this from disassembly? :)

    It's a terrible Chinese, no model on the casing, not to mention the nameplate. The only thing I have to him is the instruction, but nothing can be learned from it either.

    In the photos, the blue module is a broken replacement.

    Quick Edyta:
    When I have gouged the olx, I came to the conclusion that it was a Manta MSB001 Viper or a clone ;)

    I just do not have a symbol, I was looking, because I was hoping ;) The only thing I have to do is compare with pictures and this Manta is the most similar (na moim nawet nie mam loga manty: /)

    The only symbols on the tiles are the dates of production and series number - visually I did not find the same modules in the net.
    Maybe you have any ideas on where to look for such elements from disassembly? :)

    All in all, as long as I did not get it for repair, I did not know about the existence of such inventions.

    Too many producers of copies and changes.
    Exchange of all electronics will be too expensive.

    Hello. It is a pity that I have not spotted the subject before that the equipment could be launched. We have some service parts because the Chinese made "boards" taking lumber from different manufacturers. Pzdr Jerzy

    Hello, GoBoard service has been suspended by "friendly" people. Now I have other classes and limited access to the net - such work. Gyroscopes are falling - we exchanged them without analysis - I think the Procki was being unprogrammed. I have something in my resources. Please send photos from Gyro plates and motherboard. If this is what I have, I will help. Additional and rather evening contact: jerzyokonin(_at_)gmail.com. Kisses Jerzy

    Usually when there is a dead side, the most common fault lies in the power transistors. Most often, one of them gets short-circuited and after the competition. You have to turn one wheel and the other with the board off. One of them will seem to jerk. And in this part of the driver you need to look for a compact transistor. There are 6 transistors per wheel.

Topic summary

✨ A user is experiencing a gyroscope failure in a self-balancing hoverboard, resulting in one side being non-functional. The user suspects the gyroscope module is the issue, as swapping modules confirmed the fault lies with the damaged one. They are seeking a replacement part but are struggling to find a compatible gyroscope due to the lack of identifiable branding or model information on the hoverboard. Responses suggest searching auction portals and comparing images of similar parts, as many hoverboards are clones with varying electronics. Some users mention the possibility of power transistor failures as a common issue when one side of the board is dead. Assistance is offered in the form of potential parts from disassembly and advice on troubleshooting.

FAQ

TL;DR: Dead hoverboard side? Start with MOSFETs: there are 6 transistors per wheel, and “the most common fault lies in the power transistors.” Diagnose by spinning each wheel with power off, then check for shorts. [Elektroda, ryszard 76, post #19147509]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps DIYers quickly decide if a hoverboard fault is a bad gyroscope board or failed power stage, and where to source parts.

Quick Facts

How do I diagnose a hoverboard with one dead side?

Power off. Spin each wheel by hand. The faulty side often “jerks,” indicating a shorted MOSFET. Then inspect that side’s six power transistors for shorts. Replace the failed device(s) before further tests. [Elektroda, ryszard 76, post #19147509]

Is my issue a bad gyroscope board or bad MOSFETs?

Swap the left and right gyro boards. If the fault moves, the gyro board is bad. If it stays on the same side and the wheel “jerks” when spun, suspect the power transistors. [Elektroda, panzerkampf, post #16714805]

Where can I buy replacement gyroscope boards or sensors?

Use auction portals. Search “smart balance wheel parts,” compare PCB photos, connector gender, and mounting holes. Expect many clones; match by visuals. Replacing the entire electronics set is usually not cost‑effective. [Elektroda, 1 PAWEL, post #16717004]

Why won’t a “universal” gyro module work in my board?

Hoverboards use varied, look‑alike electronics. Pinouts, firmware, and connectors differ across clones. “Universal” modules often mismatch. Source an identical board by photo and connector type. [Elektroda, 1 PAWEL, post #16717004]

How many gyroscope boards are in a typical self‑balancing hoverboard?

Two in total—one per side. Swapping them is a quick A/B test to confirm a sensor‑side fault before buying parts. [Elektroda, panzerkampf, post #16714805]

What symptoms point to a failed gyro board?

Board powers, beeps regularly, and only one side’s lights respond. Motors do not engage. Swapping gyros makes the fault follow the bad module. [Elektroda, panzerkampf, post #16714805]

What do experienced repairers report about gyro reliability?

“Gyroscopes are falling… we exchanged them,” with suspected MCU deprogramming on some boards. Keep spares and verify firmware compatibility. [Elektroda, jerzyokonin, post #18246770]

3-step how-to: check for a shorted MOSFET stage

  1. Power off and disconnect the battery.
  2. Spin each wheel by hand; note any jerking side.
  3. Open that driver, identify its six MOSFETs, and test for shorts with a meter; replace failed parts. [Elektroda, ryszard 76, post #19147509]

Should I replace the entire control system instead of one board?

Avoid full swaps. There are many clone variants, and a whole‑electronics replacement is costly relative to the device’s value. Targeted board or MOSFET replacement is smarter. [Elektroda, 1 PAWEL, post #16717004]

How do I identify my hoverboard model without labels?

Compare internal PCB layouts and shells to known listings. Some unlabeled units resemble the Manta MSB001 Viper, but clones vary widely. Use photos for matching. [Elektroda, panzerkampf, post #16714805]

Can sharing clear photos actually help source the right part?

Yes. Repairers ask for gyro and mainboard photos to match stock. Provide high‑resolution shots of both sides and connectors for accurate sourcing. [Elektroda, jerzyokonin, post #18246770]

What if I can’t commit to the repair or can’t find parts?

Parting out the unit is a practical exit. Salvage good modules, shells, and battery for resale or future repairs. [Elektroda, panzerkampf, post #16874221]

What connector detail matters on sensor boards?

Connector gender and pin order matter. Listings often specify “with male connector.” Match this exactly to avoid incompatibility. [Elektroda, 1 PAWEL, post #16717004]

Where can I ask for a specific, pictured board?

Post clear photos and ask directly in the forum thread. Others may confirm compatibility or offer spares that match your board. [Elektroda, Wiesiek05, post #18470513]
