iRobot Roomba 770: Stripped screw of battery compartment

Sat, 02 Sep 2023 07:41:35 -0700

The battery compartment of the Roomba 770 has two screws. One of the two screws is completely stripped.

There is no remainder of the original drive slots. I tried putting some rubber sheet between the screw head and the screwdriver tip to increase traction, no result.

I want to access the battery compartment to put in the new battery I bought, as the screw is stripped I have no means of opening it. Everything else is intact. Can I somehow work my way around this? How can I remove the stripped screw? If necessary to buy addtional tools: I do not have much budget for this project.

Tools I own:

BLACK+DECKER Li2000 3.6-Volt 3 Position Rechargeable Screwdriver

Black & Decker 71-081 Double Ended Screwdriving Bit Set, 10-Piece

iRobot Roomba 692: Why won't my roomba 692 charge?

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 09:13:24 -0700

I've had the roomba 692 for less than 6 months, but it won't charge anymore on the charging doc. Is it the charging dock that's the problem, or is it the roomba's charging pad or motherboard. I am going to send it in to get it repaired, but would like to see if i could figure it out myself.

iRobot Roomba 870: Why is the display of my Roomba 871 continuously showing RST?

Fri, 07 Jan 2022 20:09:21 -0700

We came back from holidays and discovered the roomba 871 had RST in the display and would not respond to charging, Clean button or any other button. I have removed and put back the battery and still get the same.

I have read jt in another forum it may be that the Clean button is shorted - hence why it is always as if it had been reset. Can anyone confirm ? And if that is the case, how can I fix it?

Thanks
