Introduction

If your Hover-1 Nomad has major electrical issues, one of the gyroscope sensor boards may be damaged. You can follow this guide to remove and replace the two circuit boards in your Nomad. The circuit boards control the sensors, motors, lights, and speaker in the hoverboard.

For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your hoverboard. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.

Break the two warranty stickers by poking a screwdriver through them or peeling them off.
Remove the following twenty screws by rotating the screwdriver counterclockwise:
Eight 16.2mm Phillips #2 screws
Eight 15mm Phillips #2 screws
Four 19.1mm Phillips #2 screws
The holes containing most of the screws are deep and narrow. A screwdriver with interchangable bits will not be able to reach them.
Do not over-tighten the screws during reassembly. Over-tightened screws can crack the plastic channels holding the shell to the frame of the hoverboard.
