2020 SOS xiaomi first gen robot vacuum death need replacement

LBargainBrain on 13/03/2020 - 19:23

My first gen xiaomi robot vacuum is showing errors (#13, battery replacement didn’t help).
I would like to replace with first gen as no need for mop function.
Can anyone direct me to the bargain of the century?
Many thanks!

    battery replacement didn’t help).

    Well yeah, kinda guessed it wouldn't as its not battery related.

    What should I do when error-13 occurs?

    Error-13 indicates that machine charging failure: poor contact results because the charging area is dirty; please clean the charging contact in the machine tail and the contact tab of the dock charger after power off and disconnection from the dock charger; poor contact of the power cable of the dock charger. Please check whether the power cable is inserted in place; the dock charger is placed on an uneven floor or on a carpet. Please place the dock charger on a level and hard floor and lean against a wall.

    Do as above, and also get a multi meter out to test there is power at the charging dock prongs and at the end of your power brick cable. Might be a dead brick.

        No worries… Guessing you have a dead power pack, hence not charging. Multimeter is the best way to confirm, and then order a replacement from there
