Tamagotchi: Tamagotchi Paradise - Missing Spring

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 09:50:41 -0700

I took apart my Tamagotchi Paradise to replace the face plate and stupidly dropped the knob.

The small spring fell out of it and disappeared on my floor.

I'm thinking of getting a ballpoint pen spring (which will likely be too narrow) and cutting it down to size to replace it.

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement spring?

The spring is integral for performing clicks with the knob which is the only way to access Tama Labs for the store and Tama Sitter and Settings.

NOTE: The spring that is missing is NOT related to the battery. It's only function is for knob clicks. The knob is only available on the Tamagotchi Paradise.

Tamagotchi: Disconnected Wires; Soldering Necessary?

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 11:49:38 -0700

Hello! I've taken my old Tamagotchi apart for repairs, but it seems one of the little wires popped off the... speaker cell? The little round part that is not the battery. Do I need to solder it back on? If yes, what soldering kit should I get? I know I would need something with an extremely small tip, but I have never soldered anything before. Is there a certain temperature to use? Anything else I need to know about soldering small things?

For clarification's sake, one of the white wires in this picture is what has detached.

Thank you for reading!

Tamagotchi: How do I fix the frozen time on my m!x 20th Anniversary Tamagotchi?

Sat, 16 Sep 2023 19:45:26 -0700

I have already reset the toy multiple times and set all the information it asks for. The little egg continues to move around the screen but refuses to hatch. With further discovery the time is frozen. It won't move forward even if I reset, change the time, or take out the batteries. How do I fix it?

Tamagotchi: Twistechi: LCD screen repair? I went to clean it; now it's faded

Sat, 05 Aug 2023 10:07:25 -0700

So, I am not sure what to do I just cleaned and replaced the battery in an (I believe nano style) tamagotchi from 2020 it's the Twistechi model I think I got moisture beneath the screen. it's glitching and blinking as well as mostly faded to the point you can't see anything. Is there a place I can send it to be repaired or replaced and what would that cost? or a way to do so myself?

Tamagotchi: Why is my Morino tamagotchi no longer able to detect sound reliably?

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 11:42:12 -0700

The Morino tamagotchi has a predator function that requires an A button press followed by tapping on the shell to scare the predator. This uses what I believe is a listening device to register user input.

My tamagotchi was 50-50 on whether or not it would register any tapping on the shell before but now it seems that it no longer ‘hears’ anything.
