Yes, you are correct.

Check for damage to the ribbon cable that powers the Lidar motor.

The pack may have a load capacity issue that causes the voltage to drop very low very fast. You can attempt a load test on the pack by monitoring the voltage level while applying a 2 amp load to it. An automotive turn signal lamp can supply about 2 amps of load. Once the load test is started see how...

You can just purchase the Bumper that contains the RCON sensor.

Gluing may be possible depending on the damage.

You can order just the Room CONfinement sensor from ebay member casino187.

Try turning off the feature in the iRobot app, then power cycle your phone and activate the feature then test for runtime improvement.

Try using the Advanced search option.

Are there dark brown or black colors in the carpet? If so that may explain the error.

If you do not have soldering skills and the associated tools, then replacing the circuit board instead of the charging MOSFETs will be a good choice.

Possibly the result of a defective charging MOSFET.

You've got to spend over $100 US to get free international shipping from the UK.

The only place to get a 450 pump is from a 450 Scooba. Most can be found in "for sale as is" or "for parts
only" listings on ebay or similar websites.

Ya, saw that typo after the post, will edit post & correct.

You could use AA, AAA, C, or D cell 1.5vdc batteries or a 9 volt battery and connect the voltage between the battery and the motor using test leads with alligator clips.

Have you tested the replacement motor with another batteyr source?

The 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 models will work on all your floor surfaces.

I like the last 980 Roomba models since they still have the ability for the user to perform the built in tests.

Possible dust/debris within the Lidar optics.

Go for it.
