Permanently fix the Landxcape robot lawnmower with E3 Error.
How to fix the E3 error on Landxcape Lawn Mower. LX799, Lx790 etc #landxcapeE3error
Lawnmower keeps stopping, blade motor stops and starts? E3 error ALL the time! - Here is the fix!
For Landxcape LX799 as in video, probably also works on the similar LX790, LX791, LX792, LX795, LX796, LX797. But I have not tested these.
New 1.8 Firmware from this site but all in German and you have to register to get the firmware (lots of translating needed!):-
roboter-forum.com
Or just download here where I have put a copy (hope that is ok to the owners!, if not I will remove), just download, unzip (extract) the file (most computers/ipad etc will do this), and put the resultant “PLX-v1.80.1-usb.bin” file on a FAT32 formatted USB memory stick of under 32GB size, but big enough to hold this file, which is less than 2MB, then plug into your Landxcape mover:
dropbox.com/scl/fi/5dhcz2q3enkgo9jn3ome4/PLX-v1.80.1-usb.zip?rlkey=wtn063bce7ba0oafhdwr72awi&st=ll4aki6q&dl=0
Please make a donation here to help with prep costs if it fixes your mower using this link: paypal.me/comeinhandy
Here is the list of instructions for installing the new firmware,
1. Downloaded firmware 1.8 as above.
2. Format a USB memory stick as FAT-32.
3. Extract downloaded firmware v1.8, Make sure you put the “PLX-v1.80.1-usb.bin” file on the USB memory stick.
4. Turn off mower, place USB stick in mower under rubber cover underneath at the front of the mower, it lifts out, and place in charger
5. Turn on mower
Now 1 dash appears on screen - WAIT!
After a while, the dash briefly turned into a turning circle
Then the display states "USB"
6. When the display states USB, remove the USB stick
Now the screen starts flashing weirdly - WAIT!
After some time, the mower automatically turns off / reboots.
1. Turn off the mower
2. Turn on the mower using presses on power + OK button at the same time (which displays the firmware, should now confirm "1.8")
3. Put in your PIN code and start - OK and off it goes for the next hour and a half non stop!!
The new bigger capacity battery I mentioned was from Amazon with description “20 V 3500 mAh lawn robot battery, replacement battery for Landxcape LX790i/LX790/LX792/LX795/LX796/LX797/LX991” sadly out of stock, but look at your old battery, under a screwed down panel underneath to the front and you will see it looks the same as these so probably compatible:

![How to Fix the BMW & MINI Steering Lock warning CHEAPLY!
Have you got the red warning light with steering wheel and padlock? It is common on BMWs and MINIs around 2007.
Do you want to spend a fortune at a main dealer or fix it yourself for under £15 ($20)?
This video shows how i fixed mine and how you can fix yours.
Here you can find people selling the interface cable that you will need on amazon uk:
https://amzn.to/2EB48if
And Amazon usa:
https://amzn.to/2qnevkO
I got mine from web site eobdtool.co.uk which came with a software disk.
There are also a lot on ebay.co.uk: https://ebay.us/AEe2bf
Or on ebay.com here: https://ebay.us/GWSSb4
You will also need a laptop or PC.
If the steering lock is actually failing, i.e. the warning keeps coming back after resetting the light then you can fit an emulator module which replaces the connections to the steering lock so that it will always look like the lock is working. The steering wheel says permanently in the unlocked state. This is just like later model year BMW/MINIs which dont have a steering lock any more.
Here are some links to find the emulator
On ebay uk: https://ebay.us/Mc2hNr
On ebay usa: https://ebay.us/VCL0LB
If yours is like mine, it is likely just an old battery getting a bit low in voltage causing the warning to come up, so resetting it is a good fix, and no emulator is required, but a new car battery is also recommended.
There are a lot of bmw owners out there with the same steering lock warning problem. Search for “inpa toolset32” and you will find a lot of discussion and sources for the things you need to fix it.
After a few months the warning light returned. It can be just reset again quickly, or you could do the next stage which is to strip down the steering lock, clean it up and hence speed it up so the warning stays away. Here is the video that I’ve just completed for that:
