Default disassembly i180 power supply

Hi,
Does any one knows how to disassembly the power supply part in order to get and be able to replace connector Torren wires?
I have opened few screws below PS but this is not opening yet.
I see there is a big nut on the wires I guess that I have to open it somehow, is this what catching the board?
Thanks,
Roee

TO the best of my knowledge, you must unscrew the big nut around the wires that is in the top of the power supply, to remove the casing.

Many of us experimented with this data and these parts many years ago. You may wish to search the older threads on this forum, as many of the people who used to work on their own gen 1 segways are no longer posting here, or not as active as they used to be.

There are also some active and very helpful posters here, who are true experts on what is going on technically with segways, but when it is part of their business, it makes no sense on at least two levels to share their hard won knowledge...

1. There is lots of power in the batteries. There is still plenty of power and the capacity to hurt oneself in old or malfunctioning batteries.

There is also plenty of power in power supplies, and the capacity to hurt oneself, or create a fire or other unsafe environment is a real possibility whenever anyone modifies or tries to fix what they do not know or understand.

We live in a litigious society these days. If a business owner who works with batteries, power supplies, or segway repairs says do this thing or that on the internet, and someone without the appropriate skills attempts it, and hurts themselves or others or causes property damage, the business owner may be held with some potential liability.

2. No one I know wants to give people the opportunity to hurt themselves, especially unknown persons whom may or may not know exactly what they do not know. Lots of people think they know more about a topic than they do.

3. If a person makes a living by providing a service, and charges appropriately for the expertise they themselves developed over time to be an expert worthy of respect in a field, why should they give away those same expert skills?

If I know there is a car mechanic down the road, and they make a living repairing cars, is it reasonable to expect them to take time away from their day to explain to me exactly what to do to fix my own car? Consider that the more people who they tell this data to, the less exclusive the data becomes. If that car mechanic tells me how to fix my car, he looses a customer. IF he posts it on the internet, he takes a chance to loose many more customers.

Roee,

I saw a couple of your segway clones. Quite an accomplishment.

Remember, this is a public forum, and information shared here is public. Not everyone who reads here is an electronic engineer.

It has been my experience in life that one thing many people have the hardest thing learning, is to understand what they know and what they do not know.

So, regardless of what one individual or another knows here or there, public discourse is a different game...

I know i am not the subject of the above inquiry, but I have used a long nosed locking pliers in the past. Kind of a cross between a vice grip and a needle nose pliers.
