## Determining if you are affected
INA180A3IDBVR has marking `1A9D`. If you see that - you are affected. Good chip TSC101CILT is marked `0106`.

## Solutions

First, for many people, it's just working. So if your mower worked for a couple of weeks, it might survive. In that case you don't have to take any action. If your robot does not charge anymore, there are two options: Fixing the hardware or ignoring the error in software.

I recommend replacing the IC to fix this issue.

### Option 1

Replace IC2 with TSC101CILT (DigiKey 497-6947-1-ND).
Replace IC2 with TSC101CILT (DigiKey `497-6947-1-ND`, Mouser `511-TSC101CILT`, TME `TSC101CILT` or other major distributor).

The process is pretty simple to do with a normal soldering iron.
Disconnect all modules and power from the mainboard before starting the replacement.
