Hello All:
The Air Box Electric Pump turns on and starts working, then suddenly stops at 0.0.
After that, it shuts off, and if I connect it to USB, it shows a charging line, then it shows a full charge, and we start over.
Has anyone else had this happen? I can't find any technical help, and I understand it could be a motherboard error, but I can't find the error list, or how to open it to verify it.
Thank you very much in advance and best regards. See you in the water (it'll take longer now because the electric pump isn't working...)
You should probably just take it back to the dealer/shop for an assessment.
or, you can ask Chat GPT:
Thanks for the detailed description - here's a breakdown of what's likely happening with your Ride Engine Air Box Electric Pump [/b]and what you can do about it.
??What It Sounds Like
[/b]The symptoms you're describing suggest a firmware glitch, battery calibration error, or internal power fault[/b]:
? It turns on and starts working normally
? It stops at 0.0 PSI [/b](before reaching pressure)
?? It powers off completely[/b]
?? When plugged in, it shows: Charging icon briefly Then "full charge" Then the cycle repeats when you try to use it
??Troubleshooting Steps[/b]
1. Check USB Power Source [/b]Use a high-current wall charger [/b](at least 5V/2A), not a laptop or power bank Try a different USB-C cable[/b], ideally the one that came with it
2. Hard Reset (if available) [/b]Some electric pumps have a reset button [/b]or require holding power + mode [/b]buttons for 10 seconds If there's no visible reset, try holding power [/b]for 30 seconds while unplugged
3. Battery Calibration Bug [/b]Your battery might falsely report "full"[/b]even though it's underpowered: Let it fully drain [/b](try running it until it shuts off again) Leave it plugged in for several hours[/b](even if it says "full") Then try powering it up while still plugged in
[/b]4. Try Starting with Load [/b]Sometimes these pumps don't like free-spinning[/b]: Attach it directly to your kite or SUP valve Then try starting it - it may behave differently under pressure
5. Firmware/Hardware Fault [/b]If the above steps don't work, it may be: A firmware bug[/b](rare but known in some batches) A faulty battery circuit [/b]that reports incorrect voltage or current
??? If Nothing Works.
? Contact Ride Engine Support: Go to: rideengine.com/pages/contact-us Provide: Serial number Description like the one you shared Video (if possible) showing the pump behavior They may offer: Warranty replacement (if under 1-year warranty) Firmware update instructions Internal reset advice (for tech-savvy users) Let me know if you want to draft a message to Ride Engine support or need help checking if yours is still under warranty.

Contact the shop you purchased it from. RE has a good distributor and there should be no problem with getting a satisfactory result from them.
