The mobile part makes a clicking noise when spinning, is there way to fix it?

That only happened for me if something was in the way. Check if anything is blocking the mobile.

If it's clicking once every rotation of the metal ramp lever-arm (every ~5 minutes) it's an easy fix. Mine did that right out of the box- the metal lever-arm snaps in place on either side of the ramp. When I got mine I didn't realize one side had fallen out- it was off center and was clicking about its post. Snapped it back into place and the clicking was gone.

Yes...I'm hearing a "beeping" electronic sound too. I actually returned my frist Flip due to software errors and also this noise problem. I just got a new one in the mail and it's making the noise too. Not as loud as the other one, but it's still there....and very annoying! If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please reply. Thanks!!!!

It should spin. I would say it is defective. The onky I ssue I had is that the parts are backwards for the mobile connections. But ours spins well.

Mine makes a small noise, too, when I push down the corners. I don't think anything is "cracking," per se; I think there's just a small amount of flex in the screen/circuit board assembly, and it's moving slightly in the more-rigid back case. I think the only way to avoid that would have been to glue the screen solidly into the back case, which would have made it completely unrepairable. (I'm not sure that it can be repaired as it is, but a bead of glue around the whole screen would certainly have foreclosed any such possibility.)

you have to make sure everything is put on correctly, if the spinner is even slightly off or not on enough it has problems.

I had the same issue a few weeks after using it. With mine, it was a small gap between the arm and the wheel on the axle in back. I tied a small piece of string around the gap on the axle, sort of a washer, and it stopped the clicking sound.

Mine made the same sound. I replaced the actuator and it fixed the problem.

Adding my situation, had the dreaded squeaking on the left pedal, confirmed it was the rubber wheel against the rail bar. Tried all the solutions, loosening the arm nut, lubrication, but nothing worked. The noise got worse, and now the right side is making noises too. Drives me furious and kills my mood during exercise.

My fs200 absolutely has the whir and clicking noises. I have not found a solution at this point.

Check to see if the motor is bound in the housing. The spinner plate should move free and has to be tight. Make sure you are fully charged with right battery and that you are not grounding out contacts.

Mine does the clicking as well on startup. It is sound activated with a built in microphone. Have you tried it with music?

Make a loud buzzing noise when pressing the button? May need to open it up and clean it. Tutorials on YouTube.

No it does not. The wheel actually has firm 'clicking' as you spin the wheel.

Nope, it sounds like your pedal is faulty and needs to be replaced/fixed. Send it back.

Mine didnt work at all , i didn't check it when i got it. I could almost hold it from spining with my hands

My machine does the same thing on the left wheel. It's due to the screw becoming loose. If you tighten it up..the noise will go away. If it returns, it'd more than likely a stripped screw. I am currently in the process of trying to repair mines :(
