The orange centerpiece from your main 3x3
So my gocube just does not charge anymore, which is a problem many people on Kickstarter were having, but I got a later version of the cube. I tried flipping the reset switch for 5 seconds and charging it but that did not work. Anyone else got this problem? And Ideas? Its really disappointing how this is happening to a $100 cube

It comes with a rechargeable Lithium battery, they have a limited lifetime. And if it ever gets discarged below 3.0V, it might be difficult to wake up again.
For drones etc I have been able to revive dead batteries by charging them as NiMH untl sufficient power to be handled as LiPo again, but that is not an option here I guess ?
The dying batteries is one reason I have the iCarry, and not will buy another smartcube without replaceable battery.

I don't have any solutions, but it sounds like a common issue unfortunately. I'm a bit scared the same thing will eventually happen to mine, particularly given I don't use it super regularly. I've had some scramble issues recently, too.

Posting to sub to thread. Good luck OP.
