We've seen a lot of pictures lately of charred, smoldering hoverboard innards. Now, thanks to the repair gurus at iFixit, you can peek inside a hoverboard that doesn't have fire damage.
The iFixit site, which regularly cracks open high-profile gadgets, took apart a Swagway and its charger. It's verdict is that "barring a couple of important nitpicks," the Swagway is a "well-constructed board."
A Swagway representative didn't have an immediate comment.
iFixit first looked at the Swagway's charger, an important component since some of the hoverboard fires have reportedly started while boards are charging. The charger components were well insulated and well secured, said iFixit, and unlikely to explode.
"The charger looks solid," said Ken Shirrff of Righto.com, who helped with the iFixit teardown. "I don't see any coers cut."
Inside the board, iFixit found a lithium-ion battery pack from Shenzhen Powers Co. The pack was made up of a "tidy block of 20 LG batteries with their own protection board." iFixit was reassured to see batteries from a reputable brand, but said the protection board from Shenzen Dalishen Technology had skimpy solder joints.
"So far this is the only sketchiness we've seen, although it is a bit conceing," wrote iFixit's Andrew Goldberg. "These particular solder joints are going to see a lot of power as the battery is charging and discharging."
iFixit delved into the rest of the Swagway's ins and outs, including the wires and connectors, sensors and motors. You can read the full teardown on iFixit's website.
Overall, the Swagway seems like a good hoverboard, iFixit said. However, it did end things with a waing.
"At the very least, it probably won't tu into a Viking funeral pyre on wheels," wrote Goldberg, "but no guarantees."
