Bigger dots are harder to catch (detection). Red and numbered: the three highest risk scores (severity × occurrence × detection). The shaded corner is likely and bad.
Risk score (severity × occurrence × detection) per failure mode, highest first.
RPNSODFailure modeEffect and causeOperation
96843Battery connector half-seated
fm:battery-unseat
Dead unit or resets after a drop
Cause: Mate force low; in the factory simulation a 2 N tug let half-seated plugs through, so the check is now 3 N
Mate the battery connector
90635Radio check passes a detuned antenna
fm:rf-detune
Short range in the field
Cause: Module antenna near the ring LEDs or the cell
Functional test: button, touch, ring, haptic, IMU, wired and wireless charge, audio loopback, RF check
80544Stake under-melted; diffuser loose
fm:stake-weak
Ring rattles; light leaks at the seam
Cause: Stake time or temperature low
Heat-stake the diffuser
72634Adhesive bead touches the speaker cone
fm:adhesive-on-cone
Buzz or low output
Cause: Bead placement drift
Dispense adhesive for the speaker and haptic
72924Battery lead pinched when the base closes
fm:wire-pinch
Short; heat in the worst case
Cause: Lead outside its channel
Close the base onto the core
72643Mic gasket off its port
fm:gasket-shift
Low mic sensitivity; poor wake word
Cause: Gasket lifts with the liner
Place the two mic gaskets over the ports
54633Screw strips the boss
fm:screw-strip
Board loose; button feel mushy
Cause: Torque high or pilot hole oversize
Drive three board screws
45533Coil off-centre in the ring
fm:coil-offset
Slow or no wireless charging
Cause: Coil not keyed to the base
Place the charging coil and ferrite inside the ring
36632Magnet ring bonded flipped, or a segment missing
fm:ring-polarity
Won't hold on a magnetic mount or charger
Cause: Ring loaded upside down
Bond the magnet ring into the base
30532Pogo pad recessed
fm:pad-recessed
Dock or module doesn't connect
Cause: Pad not pressed to its stop
Press the five pogo pads into the base
24622Unit ID provisioned twice or not at all
fm:id-twice
Twin and QR point at the wrong unit
Cause: Retry after a failed flash
Flash firmware and provision the unit ID
18332QR unreadable
fm:qr-unreadable
Unit can't open its twin
Cause: Laser focus or power drift
Laser-mark the unit QR on the base rim
