Wyze Vacuum gets lost and goes in circles

Hello. My Wyze vacuum appeared to become a brick as well. It began going in circles, running into the side of the charger. Almost possessed. I tried resets, checked firmware, cleaned the sensor, and still death circles so to speak. Knowing it was out of warranty, I figured what the heck and opened it up. Screws from bottom. Then prying the top off. Sort of played with that as it snaps in place is all. Once the top was off, I began looking at all the connectors. Did not find any loose ones. However, after removing the motherboard to look under it, I found “one” gray wire that had broken off a connector close to one of the drive wheels. The wheel assembly goes up and down so my assumption was this may be the issue. Since it broke right off at the connector, was not an easy repair. After splicing a new wire into the connector, I put it all back together. At least for now, our “Cosmo” seems to be happy again.
