In this video we take a look at a non working EGO 56V 650CFM Blower. Model LB6500. I bought this non working to save it from the landfill and see if we can give it new life and learn something along the journey. I admit round 1 defeat in this repair as we did not have the best luck replacing the Mosfets on this one. We made progress but the BLDC was getting a hard hit on start up and I did not like the direction this would go if the BLDC Motor let the smoke out! If interested I can add a part 2 to this video and show the Cheap BLDC Controller Retrofit similar to the 480 CFM Blower repair/retrofit video. Please comment below if you would like to go further.
