SAFE CHECKS IN ORDER

What can you try?

Try these safe, user-level checks in order; do not open the device. Menu labels may differ by version.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Confirm the dock is powered, level and has free space around it.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Clear the route and review any room changes before deleting a map.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    With power disconnected, wipe contacts using a dry lint-free cloth and let them remain dry.

  4. 04

    Step 4

    Position the robot correctly on the dock and inspect the charge indicator.

  5. 05

    Step 5

    Try an auto-return from nearby; if it fails inspect the app log and model guide.

CHECK THE RESULT

How can you confirm the fix?

Confirm it docks and its charge percentage rises over several minutes.

WHEN TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP

When should you contact service?

If proper docking still produces no charge, contact Xiaomi without opening the battery or dock.

⚠ Stop using a device if it overheats, shows liquid damage, smells burnt or has a swollen battery.

POTENTIAL COST

Will a repair cost money?

Settings, cables and user checks may require no repair. Hardware costs depend on the exact model, warranty and service diagnosis; no fixed price is promised.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Quick answers

Could these checks affect warranty?

Use only external checks recommended for end users by the manufacturer. Opening batteries, electronics or sealed parts can create safety and warranty risks.

What if the steps do not help?

Write down your model, software version and test results. Share those details with official support rather than repeating potentially unsafe actions.
