Furby Not Working Fix - Back to 1998
Рет қаралды 77,274
4 жыл бұрынWe got about 12 Furby's from 1998 out of storage. They were brand new in the box and were going to give them to some kids. However, when we put batteries in them they were not working. They showed no signs of life. There is a little motor that seizes up and needs a kick start to start working again. You must work up the Furby's fur and then remove the side screws and the face screw. You can open it up just enough to spin the motor until it fires up. Do this with battiers in the Furby. Keep spinning it until it starts. This has worked to get them in working order. Sometimes you will need to press the rest buttom on the bottom after you get it working.

I found my old Furby in the attic again and unfortunately he was dead. Luckily I found this tutorial. I'm an electronics engineer but still at a loss as to why all these Furbys stopped working because of the motor. RIP to all Furby owners who didn't make it to this tutorial. Thank you! :)

Pet it 10-20 times on the back and it’ll go to sleep. To put it in deep sleep, clap 3x, rub its back and when it starts singing “twinkle twinkle” you press the tummy and back at the same time. Then you won’t accidentally wake it by bumping it, you’d have to turn it completely upside down to wake it.

So I'm still having some trouble getting mine to work. I've been on & off for a couple days working on it. I put the batteries in, & he now goes through a couple motions before doing the yawn & saying "cockadoodledoo" with his mouth not moving. He doesn't do the laugh he's supposed to do afterwards. I start spinning that gear, & he occasionally will continue what he was saying, but never fully kicks in. He'll move a bit & beg me to feed him as well, but he won't kick all the way on. Is there another problem inside that I may not be able to fix with this? Or should I just keep at it?
@Schnort 2 жыл бұрын
Late, I know, but I have a guess. It sounds like the Furby isn't just dying after going for a little while. There could be something else stuck. After a while, their gears tend to drop, and a Furby refuses to work if it can't move (probably a safety feature to prevent further damage). On the other hand, there could be a connection problem between the batteries and the motherboard. If it isn't getting power, it will just shut off (like anything else). I don't have a specific fix, but these are possible explanations.

I had a few of these new still in the box and just like you are saying they didn't work, but I shook one of them up and down a few times and it came to life. It works like it should. I might try to do surgery on the ones I can't shake the life into. I do have one of the early release Furbys from December of 1998. I believe the number on it are 700-800. Are these things worth anything if I get them working?

@Friendoo 3 жыл бұрын
Before you do this please shake it strong for a while. When you take Apart your New Furby it isn’t better than a used one. Mostly the face is glued one which means the fur won’t be hold in place as good and the value will probably sink like -40%. Mine started working after shaking for 15 minutes 🤷♂️
@Schnort 2 жыл бұрын
The shaking is a way to drop the gear back in place, but one should be careful because Furbys are obnoxiously fragile.

Also, it is possible to spin the gear through the mouth.

Mine has stopped working and now does not move but only makes a loud humming noise. I have opened it up and looked inside and power is going to the motor but it's not moving or making any noise but the weird humming noise, what do I do?
@Schnort 2 жыл бұрын
If it's humming, that means it's getting power, which is fantastic. Furbys won't wake up if something is stopping them from moving, so try this out. If it doesn't work, try skinning the thing and seeing if anything is caught. Cheers.
