iRobot Roomba i7 Plus: Why is my iRobot always saying to put the bin back in the station?

Mon, 13 May 2024 22:15:38 -0700

I already send my iRobot roomba 7+ back to iRoomba for reparations 2 times. But the problem is still not fixed. I always get the fault code “put the bin back in de roomba. I think it is a connection problem, because I already bought 2 other bins. And I keep getting the fault code . My roomba is not working. I cleaned it a thousands time. And the bin is in the roomba (the round think). I don’t get it. Sending it back to roomba don’t seem as an option as they did not fix it. And now my guaranty is finished. Thanks for the info or letting me know what I can do or where I can go to fix it. I live in Belgium.

Kind regards

iRobot Roomba 890: Why isn’t my Roomba charging?

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 21:47:28 -0700

I have a model 890 room a it hasn’t been used in over a year because it was in storage now I can’t get the battery to charge. Before I buy a new battery I wanted to make sure the charger was working. When I plug it in the green light on top comes on but as soon as I put the room a on it the green light goes off and stays off until I unplug the charger and plug it back in. Is this a issue with the charger or a safeguard because the battery is worthless now?

iRobot Roomba 770: Stripped screw of battery compartment

Sat, 02 Sep 2023 07:41:35 -0700

The battery compartment of the Roomba 770 has two screws. One of the two screws is completely stripped.

There is no remainder of the original drive slots. I tried putting some rubber sheet between the screw head and the screwdriver tip to increase traction, no result.

I want to access the battery compartment to put in the new battery I bought, as the screw is stripped I have no means of opening it. Everything else is intact. Can I somehow work my way around this? How can I remove the stripped screw? If necessary to buy addtional tools: I do not have much budget for this project.

Tools I own:

BLACK+DECKER Li2000 3.6-Volt 3 Position Rechargeable Screwdriver

Black & Decker 71-081 Double Ended Screwdriving Bit Set, 10-Piece
