Thread: Magnetospeed sporter faults

I had an issue with my sporter staying powered up and then giving a bayo unplugged error.
Apparently this is a common issue and the only advice given is to return it with people saying it's unfixable.

The issue is the 3.5mm socket and the pads coming loose from the circuit board, due to movement from the cable, and disconnecting from the tracks.
The two in particular are the outer most left (bayo plugged in) and right (power on). Re-solder the tracks back to the pad and away it goes.
There is an unused hole next to the right pad and track that could be used to reinforce the socket to the board with a piece of wire to prevent some movement, this wire can also make re-connecting back to the track easier.

It's a bit of a design flaw with the surface mounted socket.

If anyone has this fault code or just cant get it to power on, there you go.
