roomba is no more?

this morning we had an unlucky surprise.

Right now we have 3 puppies at our home, one is visiting and one of these little 'nightmares' decided to poop on the carpet...

Rather annoying, but it would had not been the big deal, except that unluckily our little roomba was running at the same point in time and we did not know about this accident. A short while later we come in the room, because of the 'curious' smell and see that the roomba successfully dragged 'poop' all over the room and was clogged with pooped and has literally shit in every crank and all over it's circuit boards...



several hours of cleaning later, it refuses to turn on and doesn't say a peep. I guess I will disassemble it again and blow it out with compressed air and clean all the sensors and parts again. But I don't have much hope at this point in time...

Update it does turn on now and only runs in circles, but the display works too after cleaning all the contacts with compressed air. There might be just the bumper sensor left, which could be clogged or so...
