Hey all, my partner has a Faraday Porter S, which she's had for years and LOVES. Besides it being a great bike, it also has significant sentimental value.
Unfortunately, when she got the bike serviced a couple months back, the repair folks power-washed around the box on the back and some water snuck into a sensitive region. Ever since, the bike has begun to spontaneously turn itself on. When we turn it off, it turns right back on again. We've tried basic stuff -- charging the battery all the way, letting the battery run down, opening the back of the bike and unplugging the power cable, etc... -- but it's still doing it. The bike been drying out for months now, so it's not a question of water still being in there.
We're wondering if there's ANY way of fixing this, up to and including replacing expensive parts or finding someone, somewhere, to do a firmware update? We understand the simplest thing to do is to just get another bike but, again, there's sentiment here and the bike otherwise runs great, so we're loathe to toss it. Any advice is much appreciated.
