WowWee Miposaur: Miposaur makes no noise Speaker doesn't work

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 10:46:48 -0700

So my son’s miposaur has been silent for a long time, I took it apart and the connections on the speaker looked fine, not sure how to fix it or if it is fixable, anyone?

WowWee Miposaur: MiPosaur does not turn on, even with brand new batteries

Thu, 23 Jan 2020 11:08:35 -0700

I recently bought a boxed MiPosaur with trackball, went to go test it out but it wouldn’t turn on, no lights, sounds, motor movements, nothing. I took apart the MiPosaur but nothing seemed out of the ordinary, I was using brand new alkaline batteries and also tested it out with fully recharged rechargeables. Can anyone help?

Also: It seems to power on for a split second (even without batteries) if I spin the wheels fast enough. (both eye lights and mood light turn on)

WowWee MiPosaur: Not sure what motor and Encoder MiPosaur uses

Hey guys, has anyone taken apart and reaplace/repair the motors (and if possible, the encoder) on the WowWee MiPosaur toy? I'm doing this because I notice the wheel (on the left) tends to get stuck and sound really squeaky.

I already have taken apart the toy, but I can't seem to find the motor (and encoder if possible) that it uses

WowWee Miposaur: Does anybody know how to fix broken parts on this device?

Fri, 14 Feb 2020 12:56:27 -0700

I accidentally broke several parts, severing them from the wires:

Gearbox motor
Battery contact strip
Speaker & Wiring

Could anybody tell me how to fix these? I’ll bet I’m out of luck.
