Why Is My Board Stuck on a Yellow Light?Updated 17 days ago

If your Hadean Carbon or Bamboo, Diablo Carbon or Bamboo, or Stoke X is stuck on a solid yellow power light and won’t connect to the remote, even after a full charge, it usually means there’s an internal fault that needs to be inspected.


🔍 What the Yellow Light Means

When you turn your board on, it should flash blue briefly whilst waiting to pair. If it stays yellow, this is the board flagging an internal error. Common causes include:


  • Fault with the motor controller

  • Internal power connection issues

  • Fault with the LED


Even if the board rolled freely and didn’t feel like it had resistance in the wheels, the yellow light on startup is the giveaway — the system has found a fault and locked itself out.
