What's wrong with my Revvy???

[D6]

My x-board revvy has just died- no coughs, splutters or lights- the thing has just died.

Any ideas why this has happened and if it's fixable? I've tried cleaning the eye and the connections too- nothing wrong there....

get a multimeter and test it... see if the board is dead.

Ok- thanks. Is it possible to get the board separatley?

 

[MRfixit]

Might be the motor, or the eye.

First of all, touch a wire across the contact of the eye, if it spins, its the eyes.

Next, try putting the wires of the motor onto a 9v, if it spins its the board, if not its the motor.

I've got a spare 12v board for sale if required. Click one of the links (think it's the first one) in my sig!
