EMO Pet Looking for help

Welcome to the Community…

  • Did EMO fall recently?
  • How old is your EMO?

Most cases of “black screen EMO” are just deep battery drain, and charging for a while fixes it.

If your EMO Robot suddenly shows a black screen and no headphone lights, it usually means the robot has no power, is frozen, or has a hardware connection issue. Here are the most common causes and what you can try.

:warning: Causes and Possible Solutions

:one: Battery Completely Drained

Cause:
If EMO’s battery drains to 0%, it can appear totally dead (black screen, no lights).

Solution:

  1. Place EMO on the charger (skateboard).
  2. Make sure the charger is powered.
  3. Leave it charging 30–60 minutes.
  4. Try saying “EMO wake up.”

Sometimes it takes a few minutes before the screen turns on.

:two: Charging Dock Not Supplying Power

Cause:
The charging skateboard may not be getting power.

Check:

  • USB cable connected properly
  • Adapter working

Solution:

  • Try another USB cable or adapter.
  • Plug into a different power outlet.

:three: EMO Is Frozen (System Crash)

Like a tiny computer, EMO can sometimes freeze.

Possible Solution: Force Shutdown or Reboot/Restart

  1. Force Shutdown EMO

:four: Charging Contacts Might Dirty

Solution:
Clean EMO’s feet with a brush
Clean the charger plate, which may be dirty.

:five: Internal Battery Protection Triggered

If the battery voltage drops too low, protection circuits can shut everything off.

Solution:

  • Leave EMO on the charger for several hours.
  • Sometimes it takes 1–2 hours before it wakes up.

:six: Loose Internal Battery Connector (Rare)

If EMO is dropped or bumped, the battery cable inside may loosen.

Symptoms:

  • Completely dead
  • No lights
  • No charging response

Solution:
This requires opening EMO, which may void warranty. Contact **Living.AI support first.

If nothing at all happens, it is likely:

  • battery issue
  • charging dock problem

If none of the tips helped at all, I would advise you to record a video of the situation and send the link along with your EMO ID, order number (if you still have it), a description of the problem, and details about what charger you were using.

Send all of this to: service@living.ai

Good luck, and I wish your EMO all the best.
