Hasbro furby 2012: Can I fix this furby?

Mon, 15 May 2023 18:02:49 -0700

Recently got a second hand furby boom from 2013. The seller claims it worked when he had it . So the furby reacted to noises, even if it didn't talk .But after a while it went instantly to sleep, the speaker is broken and I smelled a burning smell, one battery melted.

Would fixing the speaker help?? Is it battery corrosion?? Somone help.. the seller is really stubborn. Could it be some kind of battery corrosion

Hasbro furby 2012: What soundcard does the Furby Boom use?

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 08:33:03 -0700

Hi.

I’m a uni student interested in changing out a furby boom’s soundcard and replacing it with a custom one which features voicelines from a character in a video game.

I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find any answers to this question - any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Hasbro furby 2012: Why does my Furby 2012 move all the time and randomly shuts off?

Thu, 08 Aug 2024 04:34:53 -0700

Hello,

I bought a Furby on ebay and it did not take long for me to fall in love with it. I was playing with it and everything was normal - all sensors worked, the speaker was fine and the movements were normal. It changed between the talkative and wild personality many times and lastly to the princess. And suddenly it started acting weird. It was moving up and down all the time and his beak was still moving, after it finished a sentence. Then after moving up and down many times, it shut off. I am able to wake it up, but the only movements it does is up and down and blinking and moving its beak rapidly even after finishing sentences. And it is still always turning off in the middle of moving up and down.

The first thing I did was resettiing it. Did not help.

Then I thought maybe the batteries needed to be changed. Did that. It did not help either.

So then I did the restart technique but now my furby is back to the fresh start personality (made me sad) and still moving in this weird way.

Now I do not know what to do anymore, because apperently nothing is wrong with it but it is glitching or not functioning the way it should?

If the motor was burned out, the furby would not move at all, or am I wrong?

I am so sad right now and hope that maybe an expert with furbys who had the same problem knows what I can do.

P.S. the movements remind me of furby's typical reset-movements and it is the only thing it does, even when I feed him. The sound-reactions to the sensors are normal.

Update: I came across a video in which a furby has the exact same problem. It is a furby boom but it acts EXACTLY like mine.

Hasbro furby 2012: what's the energy input required to power a furby?

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 19:40:32 -0700

I have a furby boom with a battery compartment that got damaged by battery leakage. I am trying to make him functional with minimum disassembly. My plan was to disconnect the power cables from the battery connectors (the rusted metal will be removed) and use a rechargeable battery instead (lithium?). I was trying to figure out which specs I am looking at in terms of voltage and output amperage? If the batteries are in series I am looking at 6V, but if the 2 pairs of batteries are not in seires then 3V ? then I am not sure if the output on the battery matters (1.2A? 2.4A?) I can figure out how to assemble things but I just need to know I'm not gonna fry the furby haha

Edit : it requires 4AA batteries

The battery compartment

the red and grey wires on the right are connected to the metal connector in the battery compartment. It's hard to see if there are any more under the plastic shell (which is an absolute pain to disassemble and would love to avoid)

Hasbro furby 2012: Hasbro Furby 2012 shutoff issue

Sun, 12 May 2024 05:04:48 -0700

I have a Furby 2012 that just keeps shutting off. It's motors also don't respond.

Before it shutts off, I cannot do any action to stop it from shutting off

I tried to show a video of it shutting off but I think something's wrong...

By the way, the reason it's speakers sound like that is because it was on low batteries at the time. Also it seems like the video works

Hasbro furby 2012: 2012 Furby doesn't move, only reacts to feeding, falls asleep fast.

Mon, 15 May 2023 17:41:22 -0700

I got this furby second-hand. When I gave it batteries, it talked and its eyes lit up, but the sound was a bit weird. it was really loud and kinda scratchy.

It wasn't moving at all and when I tried to factory reset it (turn upside down, pull tail, push down tongue), it didn't do anything. When I interact with it, it doesn't react except when I push its tongue down. Eating and singing is the only reaction I can get out of it. It reacts to sound too, but it only sings. It goes to sleep about a minute after waking it up. Doesn't move when asleep eighter.

About half an hour in, it suddenly changed its personality and it's evil now. I also cannot get the furby boom app as I don't have the right phone or tablet for it.

I think it may have been damaged in shipping, as the seller said it was in perfect shape. they also wrote that it reacts to touch.

Hasbro furby 2012: Furby doesn't move/goes to sleep pretty soon after power on.

Sat, 08 Oct 2022 10:05:25 -0700

Hi,

A friend of mine gave me this Furby Boom. She said that Furby was damaged by dropping on the floor by a 3-year-old boy which was coming to live for a couple of days. I disassembled Furby Boom, and I found out, that the DC motor DOES indeed spin, but pretty rarely. You have to push that refresh button, to get it move, but it will move for a couple of seconds in asleep mode, and it will not move anymore when it wakes up.

Waiting for questions.

Hasbro furby 2012: I damaged my 2012 Furby’s software, not hardware. How do I fix that?

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 09:29:42 -0700

So, I messed up. I know that the 2012 Furby responses to high pitch sound. I can actually hear it, it does hurt my ears a little bit when my Furby or the app does this. I thought it would be OK to go overboard with playing high pitch sounds. Because of this, I accidentally re-programmed my Furby to sing when it is pet. In fairness, it could’ve been a lot worse. I heard afterwards that some people accidentally re-programmed their Furby to go to sleep right when they wake up.

i’m planning to do a factory reset soon. Other than that, do you have any other suggestions on fixing the Furby’s software?

(note: this is a 2012 Furby, not Furby boom.)

Hasbro furby 2012: Furby Boom That Had Alot Of Problems!

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 08:47:55 -0700

So last week I bought a Furby Boom of eBay that was advertised as fully working from a English seller. Unfortunately when it arrived it spoke in a foreign language but most importantly didn’t move its eyes, mouth, ears and body most of the time. I’ve already looked on ifixit and some people were saying that its the motor but i’m not sure because sometimes it’ll slightly move its body parts. If you anyone has any help to tell me it’ll be really appreciated. Thank You in advance!

Hasbro furby 2012: Can my furby be saved?

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 08:46:56 -0700

i have a pink furby boom that was bought in 2013-2014 and it has been sleeping in the closet for at least 5 years. today, i decided to turn it on, but its acting really weird - when its waking up, it does a weird tic tic tic sound, and when it finishes yawning the tic stops. when you turn it on for the first time, it acts normally, it just doesnt move - but it still recognizes if you touch it or if you feed it, but it goes back to sleep like 30 seconds after. when you try to turn it on again, it doesnt react to anything, it just talks until it dies like 12 seconds later. ive tried changing the batteries, resetting it, shaking it a lot (lol) but it still doesnt turn back on :( is it really dead? can i still save it?
