Tickle Me Elmo: Why is my power adapter overheating?

Wed, 28 Dec 2016 15:23:37 -0700

i installed all new Rayovac batteries. My problem is, my tickle me elmo will not stand up. when it comes to standing up, the motor just whines and then stop after about 5 seconds. The elmo doll talks, sits, walks, etc. The only problem is it won't stand. it is a 2006, 10 edition H9207.
