Hello,
I know nothing about electronics, but I was compelled to open up my broken GymBoss MiniMax and have a look inside and I’m wondering if anyone could give me some pointers about how to repair it/if it’s possible to repair. I’ve never done anything like this before, but I figured giving something like this ago, recycling instead of throwing away is a compelling motivator. This, a fun relevant little project, could be the start of a whole beautiful new hobby..
I’ve attached some pictures of the device.
Potentially relevant information: it fell in water a few weeks ago. Had no effect. I changed the battery after several years, and after 2 uses with the new battery, it gave up the ghost. (Yes, lol, I tried multiple new batteries.) interestingly, when I connect the battery in the other way round, the metal thing on the left starts spinning. The setting for the copper coil on the right is broken.
Very sorry in advance if this is the wrong place/forum to post such a question; if so, will delete! (I’m completely new to/lost in this subject/topic..). Otherwise, thank you for reading/your consideration!
