Hello, I need help with a hoverboard I have.
The charging port came completely off and there were 4 cables hanging, 2 black, 2 red.
I opened the hoverboard and looked a bit online and understood that I need to solder the 2 black wires together and the 2 red wires together and then solder them to the charging port:
(I guessed that the bottom third pin had no use as there were no soldering marks on it left like the others)
I did so but I think I got the order of the red and black wires incorrect, which I am not sure what it led to.
After connecting I tried charging and it didn't work, realized maybe it was the opposite connection, then switched the red and black but the hoverboard still doesn't charge now.
Please help I don't know what to do I hope I didn't ruin anything, and please let me know what could've been caused if I connected the black and the red wires the opposite way and tried charging it.
Thank you.
