Neato BotVac Robot Vaccum - Stuck on “reboot me” Fix

A great little robot vacuum cleaner, the Neato D5, except when it doesn’t work. This is how I got my D5 working again after it just said “reboot” me in the app and despite a reboot it would just say the same and not work.

People complain about the 0008 battery error. For this a very simple worked for me. I short circuited the +- and it started charging normally again. Thank me later.

Thanks for pointing to NeatoToolio; my robot was spinning up but got the error message and stopped. I saw that the lidar part was not working; It did not rotate. Somehow it started to work after connecting the robot and once i clicked trough the software. (i clicked the lidar tab, but that was not working; but after 5 minutes it just begon to rotate while i was checking other parts of the software; and back to the lidar tab; it was reporting values).
Disconnected the cable and the robot is working again.. Hopefully the error keeps away.

[@comeinhandynow]

Thanks. Sometimes you just have to touch it and it works! Probably the drive motor getting old and sticky though. A fix for another time

[@msstech360]

hello sir i am salauddin from bangladesh. I have seen some problem in your youtube channel where your videos are not getting enough views. I would like to inform you about this if you allow , I am waiting for your response.

[@comeinhandynow]

Do tell me more.

[@msstech360]

@@comeinhandynow I watch your video. Your content is definitely good. But as it is not SEO friendly, you are not getting the targeted views, so the subscriptions are not increasing. But I saw some problem recharging your channel. Your videos are not SEO, the title is long, the description is wrong and your channel is not promoted Your videos are not appearing in search results due to lack of proper seo, professional SEO is expected to give good results., you will be benefited.

[@comeinhandynow]

Thanks, I’ll look into improving it
