u mean 15% discount on accessories for 1st time purchase of accessories after registering for warranty?

For those who only need the Wireless Command for scheduling your 535 and u are not likely to change your schedule once its set, perhaps u can consider sharing 1 WC to save some $$$?

irobot.com and battery pack

Hello there,

I have tried to order direct from irobot.com but they only accept US issued credit card so I end up using Borderlinx service to order from them. If you are able to do it without them, let me know

On another note, does Sim Lim provide battery pack replacement service for APS battery? One of my batteries is almost dead and I am thinking to change the battery pack than to buy a brand new one.

Thanks for any advice given.

Cheers!

Yes, sim lim square does have some battery shops, they usually quote you $90+ to rebuild the battery.

I forgot about Google Check out. Thanks for the reminder. I have a profile with irobot.com so will they ship to the profile address or the shipping address registered with Google?

Wow the rebuild costs so much! Is it NiMH or Li-Ion batteries?

Thanks!

I am not sure, forgotten already. But both shipping address should send to borderlinx.

it's NiHM battery, they just open your battery casing and replace the battery inside, will take a few days.

Bin Assembly and scheduler remote

Hello again,

I am looking for a bin assembly http://store.irobot.com/product/ind...S_AccSuper_Roomba400_102308&parentPage=family for my Roomba 4230. I bought the wrong one from irobot.com. Does anyone have the one stated for sale or exchange? I got this bin instead http://store.irobot.com/product/ind...S_AccSuper_Roomba400_102308&parentPage=family which does not fit in nicely.

At the same time, I also need a scheduler remote http://store.irobot.com/product/ind...S_AccSuper_Roomba400_102308&parentPage=family.

I don't mind if it is used, kindly do sell them to me at a reasonable price.

Thanks for any offer.

Roomba 560, charger model 17062 issue

Hi I am having the same power supply as yours.

http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showpost.php?p=27666059&postcount=1696

2 days ago brought it to Sim Lim Tower Level 3 and spent 15 bucks, the uncle there helped me to changed to
1) a 400V cap,
2) a 2 point something Ampere fuse for F1 and
3) removed RV1.

The green light indicator is still there when I was there and later brought it home and tried to power up. But 2 days later not working, no more green light and no voltage output anymore. I suspected that the fuse he replaced for me has blown. Can anyone here able to provided the spec or rating of fuse you use for F1 ??

I am very grateful if anyone can help me with this. Thank you !!

This looks like it will fit my Roomba sage. Do you want to sell the bin?
