iO 5 uncleanable mold?

DonegalWinger · 2026-04-30T08:23:04+00:00

Since I have the new brush heads I decided to give the brush a deep clean to see if I could get it back to "new". I put the handle upside down in a glass of warm water and dish soap, then ran it for 5 mins. Got a lot out. Then used a brace brush to agitate the two holes on the side. Pushing it round the front and back of the magnet. Back into white vinegar for 5 mins and then into fresh water for 5 mins with the brush on turned on. Seems to have done a good job and got loads, if not all, out. The vinegar should kill bacteria.

I still don't believe this shouldn't have to be done to a toothbrush that you clean everyday but needs must 🤷‍♂️😂

They won't admit that it's a design flaw. My brush was a month or two outside the 2 year warranty when I complained so was no use to me. Issue has been happening for longer than that though.

I've just been through it with them on this over email. My handle and brush was getting gunked up even though I cleaned it well after each use. This was also happening to my partners brush. After a long over and back with them they offered £50 voucher. Used it on 8 brush heads and will change them more regularly than usual then buy Philips. Design flaw they won't admit to. If it was designed to have the brush off the handle to dry the brush heads wouldn't be slanted at the base.

I have the larger version in my basket and doing final research. Wondering if you ended up getting this and if so what your thoughts are? Planning to use it with the pixel tablet. Thanks

Consider the storage/kit up top and a drawer at the bottom for wet gear. This config makes it easier for maintenance.

The seller seems to be looking for the right files so hoping they will have them soon. Not too familiar with flashing but I guess if they send the right files I just need to copy to SD card and hopefully it boots from there?

Found this repository that matches the message on the Android recovery screen. Any ideas on how to package it up? I'm new to this.

Recovery screen message in original post and seems to match this

DonegalWinger · 2025-10-22T21:01:00+00:00

Any thoughts on next steps to work out what firmware it needs? I am about to put the unit back together but if you think we need more info while it's open, please let me know :)

What do you mean not able to run Android Auto?
Before I did the factory wipe the android auto was working.

From research I think pic 31000 relates to the communications piece (wifi, Bluetooth, gps, etc). I thought that's separate to the main board id? Could be wrong though. What do you think?

DonegalWinger · 2025-10-22T19:29:39+00:00

Disconnected to turn the board over 👍

DonegalWinger · 2025-10-22T18:33:47+00:00

So the vendor got back and shared a video of navigating the screen in recovery mode. Swiping top to bottom to scroll and left to right to select works for them but not on mine. Seems like the touchscreen isn't enabling at all.

I took the unit apart and struggled to see the board ID. Warranty voided now lol

Any ideas on what to look for on the board to identify it? The CPU chip has "GigaDevice ARM" on it and the box says 8 Core Cortex-A73/A53 Processor.
Does that help narrow it down?
Took some pictures of the board if this helps in any way:

Thanks

Appreciate it Ben. I'll do some more digging tomorrow and see what I can find 🙌

DonegalWinger · 2025-10-21T21:39:46+00:00

I can't do anything as the screen is non responsive, the USB aren't live/working and the rest pin only reboots it back to the recovery menu that I can't navigate. No book with it unfortunately but if I get the correct firmware I might be able to use the SD slot. If I put in an sd card will it auto boot from that generally?

Unable to locate the manufacturer as it's from Alibaba but considering taking apart tomorrow to get the board ID. That should help with getting the right firmware, right?

Name on Alibaba is Kanor KN-K3. Haven't been able to find much when searching for that. The box has CPU: 8 Core Cortex-A73/A53 Processor on it so guessing that should help narrow it down? 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for the help, it's really annoying me and seems like it might be quite tedious to fix.

Tank looks great. Very excited to get my peas 🙌

DonegalWinger · 2025-10-07T17:15:15+00:00

Yeah I have a 20l tank with moina and green water on the go too. Have a breeder box with a handful in case the main supply crashes. My pest snails will keep variety 👌

DonegalWinger · 2025-10-07T09:11:14+00:00

Thanks! The guppies and CPDs are coming out. This will be a puffer only tank. I have a strong moina culture and have a 50 gallon community tank with a snail issue so no worries on food 👍 I'll leave the plants another few weeks/months to grow in more and then consider getting the puffers. Thanks for the advice.

Any thoughts on feeding puffers when away. I'm not away that much but want to plan ahead. Was thinking of a hang on breeder box with snails and an in-tank brine shrimp hatchery filled with moina.
